Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand-held device for cleansing the hair by ultrasound. It also relates to a method that uses said hand-held device, in the presence of a cosmetic composition, in particular of a shampoo.
  • a cosmetic product is a product as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products.
  • bowls or basins for cleansing the hair such as CN204448700 , JP2015019670 or CN107716391 .
  • Still other documents relate to shower devices, such as CN2191621 .
  • US2018207690 refers to the use of emulsifier for cleansing hair extensions with movement of the locks through a plurality of compartments respectively allowing washing, rinsing and then drying.
  • the patent application WO2011001084 relates to a method for treating hair fibres with application of a cosmetic composition and sonication, these two steps being separate. Said document does not mention the application of ultrasound for washing the hair. Shampoo washing is only mentioned as a post-treatment to dyeing, therefore outside the sonication, since the two objectives conflict with one another, namely closing the scales for shampooing and opening them for sonication.
  • the patent application WO2017118984 relates to a system for removing parasites from the head of hair by means of a device comprising an ultrasonic transmitter for generating ultrasound radiation and a plurality of teeth extending from a base of the device, wherein the plurality of teeth comprises a vibrating tooth and a reflecting tooth, wherein the ultrasound radiation is transmitted by the vibrating tooth and reflected by the reflecting tooth so as to allow damage to a parasite situated between these same teeth.
  • This document never mentions an application other than that of destroying parasites and their larvae. In particular, washing the hair is never mentioned. What is more, the use of the device described in this document is never accompanied by the use of a composition, whether cosmetic or otherwise.
  • Patent application AU2012221702 relates to a device for damaging a parasite while it is on a surface of the body of a mammal, comprising an ultrasonic transmitter for generating ultrasound radiation; a hand-held device coupled to said ultrasonic transmitter suitable for being placed in proximity to the parasite and to transfer ultrasound radiation thereto, where said hand-held device comprises a plurality of teeth extending from a base of the device, wherein the plurality of teeth and/or the ultrasonic transmitter comprises at least one vibrating element, which is coupled to the plurality of teeth.
  • the removal of the parasites can take place after irradiation by combing or under vacuum. There is no mention of an application for washing the hair during irradiation.
  • JP2002 282788 discloses a cosmetic device having an ultrasonic transmitter.
  • Ultrasonication only occurs in a variant of the device with an electrostatic charger and more particularly a variant of the nebulizer for generating mist from a shampoo formulation.
  • the nebulizer is situated in the device upstream of the teeth of the comb. This mist is expelled through an orifice situated at the distal end of the teeth.
  • the nebulizer which may be provided with the ultrasound generator, is situated in the device upstream of the teeth of the comb. Ultrasound is therefore not emitted at the hair.
  • the creation of electrostatic charges on the hair can be a curb on the adsorption of the active agents of the shampoo as a result of repulsion phenomena, hence a possible deterioration in their effectiveness.
  • the hair is negatively charged, the adsorption of anionic surfactants and anionic polymers can be limited. If they are positively charged, the adsorption of cationic conditioning polymers can be limited.
  • a subject of the invention is a cosmetic device for cleansing the hair, comprising:
  • the handpiece also comprises a counter-form provided with a bearing surface, so as to at least partially receive the lock of hair to be treated, the probe cooperating with the counter-form so as to pinch the lock of hair between the bearing surface of the counter-form and the distal outer surface of the probe, and the counter-form delimits a receptacle of which the bottom defines the bearing surface.
  • Ultrasound can also contribute towards the release of chemical species of the cleansing composition that contribute towards the more rigorous cleansing of the keratin materials, such as free radicals for example.
  • the bubbles of the cleansing composition generate shock waves that can exert a mechanical effect on the hair, thus improving the cleansing.
  • the distal outer surface of the probe is placed "in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the hair to be cleansed".
  • the invention also relates to a cosmetic method for cleansing the hair, comprising the operations consisting in:
  • the method comprises an operation (v) consisting in applying to the hair, during operation (iii), a metered amount of cleansing composition preferably comprising at least one surfactant, which is in particular anionic.
  • the method is carried out dynamically with a speed of movement of said lock with respect to the probe of between 5 mm/s and 5 cm/s.
  • the device does not have an electrostatic charger, so as not to inhibit the action of the cleansing composition and to avoid charging the hair and making it lank.
  • the counter-form does not have a cross section that is circular or semicircular perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, in order to optimize the quality of the cleansing.
  • a "cross section of a component of axis X" is a section perpendicular to the axis X of the component.
  • longitudinal axis of a component denotes the line connecting all the centres of mass of the cross sections of a component.
  • the expression "in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the hair to be cleansed” should be understood as meaning close enough for the effect of the acoustic waves to have a beneficial effect on the cleansing action.
  • the distal outer surface is placed less than 15 mm from the surface of the lock to be cleansed, better still less than 10 mm and even better still less than 5 mm, most preferentially less than 2.5 mm.
  • the probe may be in contact with the lock to be cleansed.
  • counter-form denotes a component of complementary shape to that of the probe, capable of blocking the hair between it and the probe.
  • the counter-form and the probe are advantageously able to move with respect to each other in order to be able, in the position in which the probe and the counter-form are spaced apart, to insert the hair to be treated and then, in the position in which the probe and the counter-form are moved together or position of use of the device, apply pressure to the hair so as to ensure in particular better contact of the latter with the probe delivering the ultrasound.
  • Ultrasound consists of radio waves with frequencies ranging from 16 KHz to 10 MHz.
  • a "high frequency generator” converts the normal mains frequency of 50 to 60 Hz into high frequency oscillations ranging preferably from 16 to 60 kHz.
  • the "ultrasound transducers” or transducers then convert these electrical oscillations into acoustic vibrations of the same frequency.
  • the transducer is nothing more than a resonance system, which is driven by energy provision appropriate to the natural oscillations. It converts electrical energy into acoustic energy in the ultrasonic range, from a few mW to a few kW.
  • the "sonotrode” is a metal component or tool that is coupled to the transducer, and restores this vibrational energy to a target element, for example the hair.
  • the sonotrode According to a standard ultrasound use frequency range, the sonotrode resonates in frequency by "contracting" and “expanding” x times per second in an amplitude of a few micrometres.
  • This half-wavelength acoustic wave resonance follows the characteristics of constant elasticity of the material, of its density ⁇ , of the speed of sound propagation through this material, and the frequency. They are made of titanium, aluminium, or steel, with or without heat treatment. Small diameter sonotrodes are sometimes called probes.
  • the shape of the sonotrode depends on the amount of vibrational energy and on a physical constraint for a precise application.
  • the "acoustic waves" are generated by one or more ultrasonic transducers. According to the invention, the acoustic waves are ultrasonic waves.
  • the acoustic waves may be generated by a single transducer or, as a variant, by at least two transducers.
  • Each transducer may include a sonotrode, typically made of metal, which can define a surface via which the acoustic waves are emitted.
  • the transducer may include at least one piezoelectric material.
  • the acoustic waves may be generated permanently as soon as the device is switched on or, as a variant, may be generated only when certain operating conditions are met, for instance the presence of the device in proximity to the hair.
  • the acoustic waves may be generated by a sinusoidal signal or by a signal of more complex shape, for example with frequency modulation or with amplitude modulation.
  • the acoustic waves are preferably emitted at a single frequency, which may enable them to be focused more precisely on a given area, but, as a variant, may be emitted at several different frequencies.
  • the acoustic waves may be emitted continuously or in the form of pulses.
  • the device may also include a system for detecting the presence of the device on contact with the hair to be treated, and condition the functioning of the transducer(s) to this detection.
  • a “probe” allows the emission and reception of a signal, for example of ultrasound.
  • the device according to the invention may have, in order to recover the spent cleansing composition and the residues that result from washing (natural or chemical soiling, damaged keratin residues present on the surface of the hair), a suction system.
  • the suction system may for example have a fan and a filter and/or a pump and a filter and/or a liquid recovery system, collecting the particles, and/or an electrostatic system that, by creating a potential field, attracts the particles to a surface.
  • the device according to the invention may have a reservoir of spent surfactant composition, which composition is drawn in by the suction system.
  • the power of the suction unit is set between 80 and 120 air watts.
  • the air watts therefore indicate the overall performance of the motor of the suction unit, and thus the effectiveness of the suction unit.
  • the cleansing composition is sent into contact with the hair so as to be at least partially recovered in order to be recycled and/or filtered.
  • the recovered composition may be filtered to be freed of the solid debris or of its particulate phase, before being sent again to the lock of hair to be cleansed.
  • the composition is recovered by suction or by absorption, for example using a porous support.
  • a treatment and purification unit comprises a treatment unit inlet for receiving a spent composition comprising the composition which has been in contact with the hair, and a separator.
  • the treatment and purification unit includes a disinfection unit which kills bacteria in the recycled composition, said disinfection unit comprising a UV lamp and/or an ozone or oxidant generator and/or a chemical product or bactericide dispenser and/or a heating device.
  • the treatment and purification unit comprises a filter having a pore size of less than or equal to 50 microns.
  • the filter may be a nonwoven fabric, with or without folds.
  • the application element according to the invention has one or more of the following features, taken alone or in combination:
  • the counter-form delimits a receptacle of which the bottom defines the bearing surface. This shape promotes blocking and holding of the lock.
  • the bearing surface of the counter-form and the distal outer surface of the probe are parallel.
  • the contact angle between the longitudinal axis of the probe and the hair is close to 90°.
  • the base of the probe is advantageously flat against the hair, and this affords better effectiveness of the treatment.
  • the handpiece comprises a first comb or a first brush disposed next to the probe and oriented towards the counter-form, in order to disentangle and aerate the lock of hair before, during or after its treatment by ultrasound, thus promoting the passage of the ultrasound between the individual hairs.
  • the counter-form comprises a second comb or a second brush disposed on the outside of the bearing surface and oriented towards the probe.
  • the counter-form is then preferably equipped with a groove formed in its inner contour and disposed, in the position of use of the device, between the first comb or the first brush and the second comb or the second brush.
  • This groove may provide a space promoting the evacuation of the spent composition during combing or brushing.

  • the probe 2 and the counter-form 3 may be carried by an upper arm and a lower arm, respectively, which are for example independent of one another or connected together at one end by a joint, the handpiece 18 thus forming tongs.
  • the invention is not limited to a particular way of connecting the probe 2 and the counter-form 3. However, the presence of a joint may be preferred for the ergonomics it provides.
  • the probe 2 and the counter-form 3 define between them an area for treatment of the head of hair, which is intended to receive a lock of hair to be treated, which is moved during the treatment, for example in the direction going from the root to the end of the hairs so as to ensure that the lock is completely cleansed.
