Abstract

The hair is drawn through a pipe 4 connected to a twin-walled dome 1, the inner wall of which is perforated. The cross section of air admission is adjustable by means of an inflatable tube 7 connected to a rubber syringe 8. The inflation of the tube and the air admission rate is adjusted so that the air pressure under the dome is from 0.5 to 60 cm of water less than atmospheric pressure and the flowrate of air is from 1 to 4 m<3>/min. A fraction of the indrawn air passes over an electrical heating element 6.

Description

Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à soumettre le cuir chevelu, ou tout au moins la partie du cuir chevelu à traiter, à une pression inférieure de 0,5 à 60 cm d'eau à la pression atmosphérique ambiante. The method according to the invention consists in subjecting the scalp, or at least the part of the scalp to be treated, to a pressure 0.5 to 60 cm of water lower than ambient atmospheric pressure.

On admet que l'effet favorable de ce traitement est du à une dilatation des vaisseaux capillaires du cuir chevelu, dilatation provoquée par la dépression et qui accroît localement le débit sanguin. It is admitted that the favorable effect of this treatment is due to a dilation of the capillary vessels of the scalp, dilation caused by depression and which locally increases blood flow.

Cet effet est encore renforcé lorsque la dépression est produite par aspiration de l'air ambiant en lui laissant un passage de section telle qu'il s'écoule à un débit de 1 à 4 m3/min. mesuré à une pression d'environ 0,5 à 60 cm d'eau inférieure à la pression atmosphérique ambiante, tout spécialement lorsque les cheveux sont préalablement humectés, notamment lorsqu'ils ont été shampooingnés et rincés. This effect is further enhanced when the negative pressure is produced by suction of the ambient air, leaving it a section passage such that it flows at a rate of 1 to 4 m 3 / min. measured at a pressure of about 0.5 to 60 cm of water below ambient atmospheric pressure, very especially when the hair is moistened beforehand, in particular when it has been shampooed and rinsed.

Le traitement peut être appliqué de façon continue ou par intermittence. Treatment can be applied continuously or intermittently.

La figure unique du dessin annexé représente, à titre d' exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'appareil pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention. The single figure of the appended drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the apparatus for implementing the method according to the invention.

Cette figure est une coupe axiale schématique. This figure is a schematic axial section.

Cet appareil comprend une coupole 1 à double paroi dont la paroi intérieure est ajourée. Cette coupole est dimensionnée de façon à entourer la tête de la personne en traitement en laissant un espace libre entre la tete et la coupole. Cette dernière descend jusqu'en dessous des yeux mais sans recouvrir les orifices du nez. L'espace compris entre les deux parois de la coupole 1 est séparé par une cloison circulaire 2 en deux compartiments, à savoir un compartiment supérieur 3 qui communique avec un conduit souple 4, dont le diamètre est de préférence d'au moins 45 mm, lui-même relié à une soufflerie aspirante non représentée, et un compartiment inférieur 5 renfermant une résistance électrique chauffante annulaire 6, connectée à une alimentation électrique non représentée, à travers un moyen de réglage du courant électrique, également non représenté. This apparatus comprises a double-walled dome 1, the inner wall of which is perforated. This dome is sized so as to surround the head of the person being treated, leaving a free space between the head and the dome. The latter goes down to below the eyes but without covering the openings of the nose. The space between the two walls of the dome 1 is separated by a circular partition 2 into two compartments, namely an upper compartment 3 which communicates with a flexible duct 4, the diameter of which is preferably at least 45 mm, itself connected to a suction blower, not shown, and a lower compartment 5 containing an annular electric heating resistor 6, connected to an electric power supply, not shown, through means for adjusting the electric current, also not shown.

L'admission de l'air sous la coupole 1 se fait par deux voies distinctes. L'une de ces voies emprunte le passage annulaire ménagé entre la tête de la personne en traitement et un boyau, ou bourrelet, 7, gonflable au moyen d'une poire 8 munie d'un robinet 9 et d'une soupape d'aspiration 10. Ce boyau 7 est fixé à l'intérieur de la coupole 1, à proximité de son bord. The air intake under the dome 1 is made by two separate channels. One of these channels takes the annular passage formed between the head of the person undergoing treatment and a hose, or bead, 7, inflatable by means of a bulb 8 provided with a tap 9 and a suction valve. 10. This hose 7 is fixed inside the dome 1, near its edge.

L'autre voie emprunte deux rangées circulaires d'orifices dont l'une, 11, est disposée sur le bord inférieur de la coupole 1 et l'autre, 12, est pratiquée dans la paroi intérieure de la coupole 1, à un niveau situé dans le compartiment 5, entre la résistance chauffante 6 et la cloison 2. The other path takes two circular rows of orifices, one of which, 11, is arranged on the lower edge of the dome 1 and the other, 12, is made in the inner wall of the dome 1, at a level located in compartment 5, between heating resistance 6 and partition 2.

En fonctionnement, on règle la vitesse de rotation de la soufflerie au moyen d'un rhéostat ou transformateur à rapport variable, et on règle le degré de gonflage du boyau 7, de manière à obtenir une dépression relative de 0,5 à 60 cm d'eau sous la coupole, dépression que l'on mesure au moyen d'un manomètre 13, et un débit d'air résultant de 1 å 4 m3/min., mesuré dans le conduit d'aspiration, à une pression d'environ 20 à 100 cm d'eau, notamment d'environ 30 cm d'eau, inférieure à la pression ambiante. In operation, the speed of rotation of the blower is adjusted by means of a rheostat or variable-ratio transformer, and the degree of inflation of the hose 7 is adjusted, so as to obtain a relative depression of 0.5 to 60 cm d 'water under the dome, depression which is measured by means of a manometer 13, and a resulting air flow of 1 å 4 m3 / min., measured in the suction duct, at a pressure of approximately 20 to 100 cm of water, especially about 30 cm of water, below ambient pressure.

Une fraction de l'air aspiré passe par le compartiment 5 et est chauffée par la résistance 6, ce qui permet de combiner le traitement du cuir chevelu avec un séchage des cheveux avec mise en plis, comme schématisé par les bigoudis 14. A fraction of the air drawn in passes through compartment 5 and is heated by resistance 6, which makes it possible to combine the treatment of the scalp with drying the hair with styling, as shown schematically by curlers 14.

Si l'on renonce au réglage du débit dradmission d'air froid, le boyau gonflable 7 et sa poire 8 peuvent être supprimés et éventuellement remplacés par un bourrelet de mousse élastiaue. If we give up the adjustment of the cold air intake flow, the inflatable hose 7 and its bulb 8 can be omitted and possibly replaced by a bead of elastic foam.

Bien que la personne représentée au dessin soit de sexe féminin, il est bien évident que le procédé et l'appareil selon l'invention conviennent tout aussi bien pour le traitement de personnes de sexe masculin. Although the person shown in the drawing is female, it is obvious that the method and apparatus according to the invention are equally suitable for the treatment of male persons.

On pourrait également appliquer le traitement en utilisant uniquement le conduit d'aspiration 4, sans coupole 1, en faisant aller et venir l'orifice d'entrée du conduit 4 sur la partie à traiter du cuir chevelu, à la façon d'un aspirateur. The treatment could also be applied using only the suction duct 4, without a dome 1, by moving the inlet orifice of the duct 4 back and forth on the part of the scalp to be treated, like a vacuum cleaner. .

Dans un tel mode opératoire, il convient d'appliquer une pression de 30 à 40 cm d'eau inférieure à la pression atmosphérique ambiante avec un débit d'air de 2 à 3 m3/min., mesuré dans le conduit d'aspiration. In such an operating mode, it is appropriate to apply a pressure of 30 to 40 cm of water lower than the ambient atmospheric pressure with an air flow rate of 2 to 3 m3 / min., Measured in the suction duct.
