Abstract

The device for protecting eyes and clothing from the effects of hair care products comprises a ring (12) which is larger at the front and rear than at the sides and slopes towards the rear. This is fitted on to the head above the ears and forms a channel into which the hair care product flows and collects at the rear.

Description

The present invention relates to devices for protecting a user against the products he uses for the maintenance of his hair.

It is well known to any user that, when he or she applies a shampoo, a dye or any other hair product to the hair, the product flows onto the face and onto the clothing, creating a certain number of inconveniences. such as tingling in the eyes or spots on a bodice or shirt.

The problem was solved by the use of a shampoo chair which is adapted to avoid having to suffer the aforementioned inconveniences because the head of the user is thrown back so that the hair product or shampoo falls directly on the inclined plane of the shampoo tank. However, this way of operating is far from solving the problem. Indeed, the shape of the shampoo chair is not always well suited to the user, the product often flows along the neck. For maximum efficiency, it is necessary to tilt the head strongly backwards which represents a very unpleasant position especially when it lasts a certain time. Finally, throughout the duration of the operation, the user is completely immobilized in an uncomfortable position, which does not allow the use of hair products requiring too long application on the hair.

This is why the object of the invention is to provide a device for protection against hair care products which is easy to use and does not oblige its user to be immobilized in an uncomfortable position for the duration. of the operation.

The object of the invention is therefore a device for protection against hair care products consisting essentially of a closed gutter widening from front to back and suitable for enclosing the head of the user around the forehead and from the nape of the neck passing over the ears, said gutter having a tilt back and forth so that any liquid product applied to the hair is collected in the gutter and accumulates in the wider rear part of said gutter.

The aims, objects and characteristics will become clearer on reading the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the device according to the invention, with closure but without reservoir.

FIG. 2 represents a top view of the device according to the invention, with closure but without reservoir.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the device according to the invention, with reservoir but without closure.

Figure 4 shows a top view of the device according to the invention, with reservoir but without closure. According to the invention and by way of example, the device for protecting against hair care products (10) is shown in FIG. 1 in perspective. I1 consists of a circular gutter (12), closed and widening from front to back. On the inner edge of the gutter (12) is clipped a seal (14) in PVC foam to increase the seal between the skin of the user and the edge of the device. A closure system (16) allows the device to be fixed around the head of the user. Shown in Figure 2, the closure system (16) can be in the form of two overlapping strips of velcros, a built-in lace, an elastic band or a snap button system. The device with closure exists in several sizes so as to be able to adapt perfectly to the head of the user.

According to another embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the device (22) according to the invention, has a reservoir (20) which allows the product to be collected after its application to the hair. The reservoir is placed at the rear of the device at the point where the gutter (24) is widest.

In accordance with FIG. 4, the reservoir (20) may have a drain orifice (30) at its base which allows the product contained in said reservoir to be removed.

A suction bulb can be connected to the drain opening by means of a flexible hose 25 to 50 centimeters long, fixed at one of its ends. In this configuration, it is possible to suck the liquid thanks to the bulb. Once in the suction bulb, the liquid can be applied again to the hair using an applicator which is located at the other end of the bulb. This applicator includes a foam or sponge tip. When you want to reuse the product in the tank, you suck it up by pressing on the pear. we take the pear, applicator at the bottom, and we impregnate the foam or sponge of the applicator with the product by pressing on the pear which communicates with the applicator.

In accordance with Figures 3 and 4, the protection device according to the invention may be made of elastic and deformable plastic. In this configuration, the device does not require a closure system since it can be stretched so that it can be put on the head. The material used to manufacture the device is preferably thermocompressed foam. According to this embodiment, two sizes make it possible to cover all the head circumferences. In accordance with Figures 3 and 4, the device in elastic and deformable plastic material has a reservoir. However, according to another configuration mode, it may not have it. This device also includes an clipped seal (26), shown in Figures 3 and 4, along its inner edge.
