Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair styling device.
  • WO 2019/057575 discloses a hair styling device having a two-dimensional force sensor.
  • a hair styling device that comprises a sensor having an active mode in which the sensor is arranged for contacting hair, and an inactive mode in which the sensor is arranged for not contacting the hair.
  • the sensor is provided with a cap for covering the sensor in the inactive mode.
  • the sensor is movable between a first position in which the sensor is arranged for contacting hair in the active mode, and a second position in which the sensor is arranged for not contacting the hair in the inactive mode.
  • the hair styling device further comprises a control unit for communicating with a user device, separate from the hair styling device, the hair styling device being arranged for switching between the active mode and the inactive mode in response to a control signal received from the user device.
  • the hair styling device may further comprise a removable hair styling unit that does not include the sensor.
  • Hair brushes are getting more innovative. Sensors are added. Hair brushes are vulnerable and can damage easily due to nature of usage and storage. They are under impact of chemical and mechanical stresses during usage. They will easily get dirty and/or subject to wear as a result of hair being moved along the sensor (as hair does not have a smooth surface, moving hair along the sensor will have an abrasive effect). This will also be the case for the sensors in the brushes. Sensors in hair brushes may thus malfunction after usage for a prolonged time.
  • One aspect of the invention provides a hair styling device comprising a sensor (e.g. a force sensor as described in WO 2019/057575 , or a hair quality sensor) having an active mode in which the sensor is arranged for contacting hair, and an inactive mode in which the sensor is arranged for not contacting the hair.
  • a sensor e.g. a force sensor as described in WO 2019/057575 , or a hair quality sensor
  • an active mode in which the sensor is arranged for contacting hair
  • an inactive mode in which the sensor is arranged for not contacting the hair.
  • the senor is provided with a cap for covering the sensor in the inactive mode.
  • the cap would form a protection shield of the sensor which is active during brushing and gets de-activated during measurement.
  • the de-activation can be done via various means, such as manual, via a button on the brush (mechanical), via an electronic actuated manner, or via a button on a remote entity (mobile phone) when connected (e.g. via Internet of Things capabilities), or when automatically initiated via internal or remote controller (e.g. time, or due to motion capture).
  • the senor is movable (e.g. by an actuator or a mechanical lever) between a first position in which the sensor is arranged for contacting hair in the active mode, and a second position in which the sensor is arranged for not contacting the hair in the inactive mode.
  • the second position may be a position in which the sensor is retracted into a brush body.
  • the hair styling device further comprises a control unit for communicating (e.g. using Bluetooth or WiFi) with a user device (e.g. a smartphone or tablet), separate from the hair styling device, the hair styling device being arranged for switching between the active mode and the inactive mode in response to a control signal received from the user device.
  • a control unit for communicating (e.g. using Bluetooth or WiFi) with a user device (e.g. a smartphone or tablet), separate from the hair styling device, the hair styling device being arranged for switching between the active mode and the inactive mode in response to a control signal received from the user device.
  • the hair styling device is a connected device that communicates with e.g. a smartphone (and/or thru the smartphone with a remote server) so that the smartphone can be used to display measurement results and/or recommendations for styling and/or hair care based on the measurements by the sensor, then it is very convenient to make the smartphone control when measurements are needed.
  • the hair styling device may have its own control for switching between the active mode and the inactive mode, which
  • the hair styling device is provided with a removable hair styling unit that does not include the sensor, then the hair styling unit can be separately cleaned without exposing the vulnerable sensor and sensor electronics to the cleaning action and any cleaning liquids.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a brush B having a measuring device at the side where the bristles Bt are located.
  • the measuring device has the same elements as discussed in WO 2019/057575 , incorporated herein by reference: sensor with measuring probe MP, alignment elements AE, and guidance elements G. While brushing the hair, the hair H is guided along the alignment elements AE and the measuring probe MP.
  • the bristles Bt are mounted on removable hair styling units Hs, e.g. foam pads, which can be taken out of a frame of the brush B so that they can be washed without damaging electronics and the sensor with measuring probe MP.
  • removable hair styling units Hs e.g. foam pads
  • Figs. 2A and 2B show an embodiment of a hair styling device in accordance with the present invention, in which the sensor S and the measuring probe MP can be moved from a first position shown in Fig. 2A to a second position shown in Fig. 2B by means of an actuator A controlled by a control unit CU.
  • the sensor S In Fig. 2A , the sensor S is in the active mode and arranged for carrying out measurements, while in Fig. 2B , the sensor S is in the inactive mode and in a safe position in which it can less easily be damaged.
  • the control unit CU may involve a switch on the brush B itself by means of which a user can move the sensor S and measuring probe MP upwards or downwards.
  • the control unit CU may be wirelessly connected (e.g.
  • the user device can also send a message to the brush B that makes the control unit CU instruct the actuator A to move the sensor S with measuring probe MP upwards into the active mode, or downwards into the inactive mode.
  • Figs. 3A and 3B show an embodiment of a hair styling device in accordance with the present invention.
  • the actuator A makes a cap C move from a first position not covering the measuring probe MP as shown in Fig. 3A , in which the sensor S is in the active mode, to a second position in which the cap C does cover the measuring probe MP as shown in Fig. 3B , in which the sensor is in the inactive mode.
  • the actuator A is controlled by the control unit CU, which may be wirelessly connected to a user device.
