Abstract
A flexible heat retardant sheet 10 comprises a flexible heat-resistant layer 12, and, below it, a flexible heat-insulating layer 14, possibly with another flexible heat-resistant layer on the opposite side of the insulating layer so as to sandwich the layer, the layers being sewn together such as to form a bag 16. The heat resistant layer may be a woven material formed from a heat resistant polymer such as polyamide e.g. nylon or polyaramid, or polyester with a coating of polyurethane. The heat resistant layer may comprise a heat conductive coating containing metal such as aluminium or bronze in the form of powder The heat retardant sheet may comprise a metal layer in the form of a foil. The insulating layer may be a foam such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foam containing carbon black to help spread heat laterally, siloxane, silicone rubber, elastomer, styrene butadiene rubber or blended rubber, possibly with a resistance- reducing coating such as silicone wax or PTFE. The sheet may be used as a wrapper or pouch for a hot heated hair appliance 32. The sheet may be embodied in the walls of a handbag compartment. The hair appliance may be rested upon or wrapped in the sheet while being heated.
Description
2431'36 TITLE: Heat-retardant material
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to heat-retardant materials that are flexible, for example sufficiently to wrap around a hot object and to be opened out to allow a hot object to be placed safely upon them.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Some hot hair appliances, e.g. curling tongs, have exposed hot parts that may reach 200 degrees Centigrade in use. After use, the user may wish to put them down on a surface andor transport them, e.g. in a hancbag. Due to their temperature, they can then cause damage. To protect such a surface, it may be covered with a so-called heat-proof mat To transport the appliance, it must first be allowed to cool (which may take an inconveniently long time), or it must be placed in a heat-proof container. To combine both of these purposes, there is known to the present inventor a flexible so-called heat-proof material that can be used as such a mat and can then be used to wrap the hot appliance for transport. This suffers from the disadvantage that it has to be made of felted material, and it therefore deteriorates, falling apart rapidly with repeated use, and is rather too stiff to be used easily for the wrapping.
THE INVENTION
The present inventor could not find a material suitable for such a use. He then looked to the technology of flexible heat-resistant materials and found materials well able to withstand the temperatures concerned but wholly unable to prevent a dangerous throughput of heat. He found woven materials were much better in this respect. He knew that there were insulating materials that were suitably flexible, but they could not stand the high temperatures concerned. He then had the brilliant idea of combining such an insulating material with such a flexible heat-resistant material, preferably a woven one. He realised that the (preferably woven) heat-resistant material could reduce the temperature of the heat energy passing through it to a temperature that the insulating material could withstand. He further realised that the insulating material could be a more efficient insulator (e.g. per mm thickness) if in the form of a foam. A foam could also be much more durably flexible than a solid material of the same composition, i.e. have a greatly extended life under repeated flexing. He further realised that the temperature disadvantage could be much ameliorated by including a heat-conducting layer to even out the temperature gradients laterally. A safer and more versatile product is obtained if the sheet comprises another flexible heat-resistant layer on the opposite side (face) of the insulating layer.
According to one aspect of invention, there is provided a flexible heatretardant sheet comprising a flexible heat-resistant layer and, below it, a flexible heat-insulating layer. The sheet is suitable for use as a heatretardant wrapper for a hot heated hair appliance, e.g. flexible enough to be wrapped around it or again ready-formed as a pouch flexible enough for the appliance to be placed therein. Thus, according to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a flexible heat-retardant sheet comprising a flexible heat-resistant layer and, below it, a flexible heatinsulating layer, the sheet being suitable for use as a heat-retardant wrapper for a hot heated hair appliance.
Preferred embodiments include one or more of the following features: said sheet comprises another flexible heat-resistant layer on the opposite side (i.e. face) of the insulating layer.
- the two said heat-resistant layers are in the form of sheets, one on either side (i.e. face) of said insulating layer (to enclose or sandwich the latter between them).
- the two said sheets are sewn together.
- the two said heat-resistant layers are sewn together to form a bag to contain said insulating layer.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises woven material. By uwoven is meant herein only 1with warp and weft, as opposed to, for example, uwovenu to describe a process, used in felting, of needle-punching adjacent layers to bond them together.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises a heat-retardant polymer.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises polyamide.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises polyester.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises polyaramid.
- at least one said heat-resistant layer comprises woven nylon fibre.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises a coating of polyurethane.
- a said heat-resistant layer comprises means to allow or help heat to spread laterally. In practice, this will usually allow the heat to spread, usually to a more nearly substantially uniform temperature, throughout the area of said heat-resistant layer, so that the hottest heat energy can drop substantially in temperature by the time it has penetrated through this layer.
- .a said heat-resistant layer comprises a heat-conductive coating.
- said coating comprises metal.
- said metal comprises silver-coloured metal, e.g. aluminium, e.g. powder.
- said metal comprises gold-coloured metal, e.g. bronze, e.g. powder.
- said coating comprises carbon black.
- said heat-retardant sheet comprises a metal layer.
- the metal layer has the form of a sheet - the metal layer has the form of a sheet of foil.
- said insulating layer is in the form of a sheet - said insulating layer has a thickness of not more than 10 mm.
- said insulating layer has a thickness in the range of from 3 mm to 10 mm.
- said insulating layer has a thickness of substantially 3 mm.
- said insulating layer comprises foam.
- said foam is able to withstand a high temperature, e.g. at least 150 degrees Centigrade, more preferably at least 180 degrees Centigrade, possibly at least 210 degrees Centigrade, or even at least 250 degrees Centigrade.
- said foam comprises a thermally insulating copolymer.
- said foam comprises ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) said foam comprises carbon black, possibly a mixture of different grades of carbon black, e.g. to allow or help heat to spread laterally as mentioned above.
- said insulating layer comprises a non-foam mateiial.
- said insulating layer compnses a material comprising any one or more of the following properties and/or materials: any suitable siloxane; silicone rubber; an elastomer; styrene butadiene rubber (SBR); a blended rubber; a monomer elastic rubber; an ability to withstand a temperature of (i.e. of at least) 200, 210, 220, 250 or 300 degrees Centigrade, or even a temperature above 300 degrees Centigrade.
Some of the insulating layer subsances mentioned herein can be chosen sufficiently heat-resistant as well as heat-insulating not to require the heat-resistant outer layer/s of woven material. However, they tend to have high friction, like rubber, and therefore to be more difficult to handie (e.g. to insert in and to extract from a travel bag), whereas the woven materials tend to have a much lower friction co-efficient and can therefore, for example, slide much more easily into and out of a travel bag. There is a possibility suitably to coat such an insulating layer material, not having outer layers, with a resistance-reducing coating, e. g. a silicone wax and/or PTFE, e.g. that known under the trade name Teflon.
Alternatively to some of the embodiments indicated above, said heatretardant sheet may be monolithic, with properties and possibly chemical composition varying from one side of the sheet to the opposite side of the sheet, with a heat-resistant layer and, below that, an insulating layer.
The flexibility is preferably such that the heat-retardant sheet can be used to wrap around a hot article arid can be opened out sufficiently to use as a mat upon which to place a hot article. In either case, this is done with a view to retarding or preventing the heat from passing through the mat in such a manner, e.g. so quickly, or to such an extent, or at such high temperature, that it could cause damage. Thus, this embodiment provides a heat-proof (i.e. heat-retardant) material that can be used as a wrapper for a heated hair appliance so that it can be transported safely, e.g. in a handoag, and that can be opened out to be used as a mat upon which to place a hot heated hair appliance safely until it becomes cool.
Some embodiments provide a heat-proof mat that is used as protection in relation to, and/or to transport, a heated hair appliance, such as for example hair straighteners or culling tongs, when hot. The mat when open allows the user to place their hot hair appliance onto it, and thus protects the surface below. The mat is so flexible that it can also be used to wrap the hot hair appliance and allow easy transportation thereof.
Said flexible heat-resistant layer may be in the form of a sheet that is folded in half and sewn together along the two opposite sides adjacent the fold, to make a flat bag, in which is located said heat-insulating layer, and also sewn together along the side opposite the fold.
In some preferred embodiments, there is used 70 denier nylon fibre (of a grade known in the trade as 190T) coated in either silver-coloured (metallised) meta polyurethane (PU) or gold-coloured (metallised) polyurethane, woven into a fabric. This woven fabric is then, for example, folded in half and sewn together along the two opposite sides adjacent the fold, to make a flat bag into which is placed a 3mm thick piece of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam and then finished by sewing along the final side to make a mat having the form of sandwich of a layer of the foam between two layers of the woven fabnc. (Instead of folding, two separate pieces of the woven fabric may be stitched together along three adjacent sides to make the flat bag.) The resulting sandwich sheet (or indeed any other form of the heat-retardant sheet) may itself be folded in half and sewn together along the two apposite sides adjacent such fold, to make a pouch into which may be placed the hot heated hair appliance. When in the form of a pouch, the material need not be as flexible as when it is required to be wrapped around a hot article.
As variations, there can be used different thicknesses of EVA foam up to approximately 10mm. Other grades of nylon can be used, possibly coated, and/or the PU may contain, instead of bronze or aluminium powder, carbon black. The nylon can be replaced with other engineering polymer/s with good resistance to heat, e.g. a polyester or polyaramid.
There has been developed a product that can be used as a mat to rest hot hair appliances on and that can also be used to wrap and then transport said hair appliances while initially hot and as they cool down. The product is able to withstand temperatures of approximately 225 degrees Centigrade for several minutes at a time and under repeated use over a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 hours) and also to reduce heat transfer through the product. Thus, the product can be used to support the hair appliances resting on a non-heat-resistant surface and to wrap up the hair appliances as they cool down and allow easy (safe) transport. To allow the hair appliances to be wrapped up the product is suitably flexible.
Some benefits of these embodiments: They can: - be produced at low cost; be visually and aesthetically pleasing; remain intact over prolonged use (in contrast to a felted material, which becomes frayed and messy over prolonged use); be versatile, e.g. so that they can be printed or embroidered and can be incorporated into other products, such as a hancbag (known in the USA as a purse) (e.g. as a detachable mat, or again embodied in the walls of least one compartment of the hancbag), as well as being used on their own; lend themselves to being made available in a range of colours (e.g. greens, blues, purples and/or pinks, or even a tartan).
Other aspects of the invention provide: Any such heat-retardant sheet suitable for a heated hair appliance when hot to be rested upon it and suitable to serve as a wrapping for such appliance for transport thereof.
A method of using any such heat-retardant sheet, in which a heated hair appliance is rested upon the sheet and/or is wrapped in the sheet, when hot and/or while becoming hot and/or it then becomes hot, e.g. being plugged into the mains electricity supply, (i.e. it is rested upon the sheet and then becomes hot.) Wrapped in the sheet' includes a case in which the sheet is wrapped around the hot appliance, and includes a case in which the sheet is in the form of a pouch and the hot appliance is placed therein.
A method of using a heated hair appliance in which the appliance is placed on any such heat-retardant sheet while it is being heated or while it is hot.
A method of preparing a heated hair appliance for transport, in which the appliance before and/or when being heated and/or when hot is wrapped in any such heat-retardant sheet.
A method of transporting a heated hair appliance, in which the appliance while hot is maintained during transport wrapped in any such heatretardant sheet during transport
DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS WITH REFERENCE TO THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a schematic partial cross-section through a sheet embodying the invention; Figure 2 is an exploded view of the sheet being made; Figure 3 is a perspective view of the sheet opened out to serve as a mat; Figure 4 is a perspective view of the sheet rolled up as it is when wrapped around a hot heated hair appliance (shown in dashed lines); and Figure 5 is a perspective view of the sheet formed as a canying pouch.
Referring to the drawings, a flexible heat-retardant sheet 10 comprises a flexible heat-resistant layer 12 and, below it, a flexible heatinsulating layer 14. Said sheet 10 comprises another flexible heatresistant layer 12 on the opposite side (face) of the insulating layer 14.
The two said heat-resistant layers 12, 12 are in the form of sheets 12, 12 of woven material 12 (which may be made of any one or more of the materials mentioned above, e.g. a heat-retardant polymer) which are sewn together, one on either side of said insulating layer 14 (to enclose or sandwich the latter between them).
The two said heat-resistant layers 12, 12 are sewn together to form a flat bag 16 to contain said insulating layer 14 which has a thickness of substantially 3 mm and comprises a foam of thermally insulating ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), or preferably styrene butadiene rubber (S BR) Two separate pieces 12, 12 of the woven fabric are stitched together along three adjacent sides 20, 22, 24 by respective lines of stitching 21, 23, 25 to make the flat bag 16 into which is placed the 3mm thick piece of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam 14. Altemavely,as shown by dashed lines in Figure 2, the woven fabric 12 is folded in half and sewn together along the two opposite sides 22, 24 adjacent the fold 26, to make the flat bag 16. In either case, after insertion of foam 14, the material 10 is finished by sewing along the final side 28 with a line of stitching 29 to make a mat 10 having the form of sandwich of a layer 14 of the foam between two layers 12, 12 of the woven fabric. The resulting sandwich sheet 10 may, as shown in Figure 5, itself be folded in half and sewn together along the two opposite sides 22, 24 adjacent this fold 30, to make a pouch 10 into which may be placed the hot heated hair appliance 32.
In a method embodying the invention of using any such heat-retardant sheet 10, a heated hair appliance 32 is rested upon the sheet 10 and/or is wrapped in the sheet 10, when hot and/or while becoming hot and/or it then becomes hot, e.g. being plugged into the mains electricity supply.
In a method embodying the invention of using a heated hair appliance 32, the appliance 32 is placed on any such heat-retardant sheet 10 while it is being heated or while it is hot.
In another method embodying invention of preparing a heated hair appliance 32 for transport, the appliance 32 before and/or when being heated and/or when hot is wrapped in any such heat-retardant sheet 10.
In another method embodying the invention of transporting a heated hair appliance 32, the appliance 32 while hot is maintained wrapped in any such heat-retardant sheet 10 during transport.
