Description
TITLE
Accessories for heated hair-shaping devices
DESCRIPTION
This invention relates to accessories tbr heated hair-shaping devices such as heated hair straightening irons and heated hair curling tongs.
Referring to Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, a typical hair-straightening device 12 has a pair of arms 14 hinged together about an axis 16 and spring-loaded to urge the arms 14 to the position shown in the drawing, but to permit the arms 14 to be manually squeezed together so that the arms 14 become generally parallel. The arms 14 carry a pair of mutually-facing metal or ceramic plates 18 which are electrically heated using electricity supplied by a mains power cord 20. Such hair-straightening devices 12 typically include a power switch (not shown), a thermostat control (not shown) for setting the temperature to which the plates 18 are heated and a tell-tale light (not shown) to indicate that the device 12 is switched or', or is switched-on but not up to temperature, or is switched-on and up to temperature. Typically, the temperature of the plates 18 can be set in the range of 60°C to 210°C or 230°C. In use, the plates 18 are brought up to temperature; a bunch of hair is placed between the plates 18; the plates 18 are squeezed together; and the device 12 is drawn along the bunch of hair so as to flatten the hair at elevated temperature so as to straighten it at least semi-permanently. The process is then repeated on other bunches of hair.
When performing this process on a complete head of hair, it may be necessary to put the device 12 down from time to time, when the plates 18 are still hot. Also, when the process has been completed, the plates 18 of the device 12 will remain hot tbr a period of time. Some devices 12 have a loop which can be used to hang the device 12 from a hook if one is handy.
However, in the domestic environment, users may be reluctant to tix a hook to their dressing table or dressing table mirror fbr aesthetic reasons and so as not to damage the furniture. In the professional salon environment, hooks are desirably avoided for similar reasons and also for health and safety reasons. It will be appreciated that if the hot device is placed directly on a thermally delicate surface, such as a French-polished antique dressing-table top, or a painted MDF salon worktop, it will cause damage. Some users therefore employ a makeshift thermally- insulating cushion, such as a tblded towel, when placing the hot device 12 on a thermally-delicate surface. Of course, if the towel is damp (for example if it has just been used to dry the hair), placing a mains-powered device on it raises health and safety issues.
A protective mat specifically for hair-shaping devices has been proposed in patent document GB2400304. That mat is made from interlocked layers of carded polyester fibres.
Although the mat of GB2400304 could well provide the required protection of a support surface in ideal conditions, it suffers from the disadvantages that it slips easily on a support surface and that it is water absorbent. The use of a water absorbent mat for a mains-powered appliance in an environment, such as a hairdressing salon, where water abounds, is risky.
An aim of the present invention, or at least of specific embodiments of it, is to provide an improved device for protecting a Support surface such as a dressing-table top, or a salon worktop, when a hot hair-shaping device is placed on the support surface.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a protective mat for a heated hair-shaping device, the mat having a lower face that can be laid on a support surface and an upper face on which the device can be laid, the mat being resistant to thermal damage by the device, the mat having low thermal conductivity to protect the support surface from thermal damage by the device, the mat being non-absorbent to water, and at least the lower face of the mat being significantly resistant to slipping on the support surface.
Preferably, the mat is resistant to thermal damage from the device when the temperature of the device is as high as 230°C.
Preferably, at least the upper face of the mat is photochromic (i.e. it changes colour with temperature), s that the user can see at a glance whether the hair-shaping device is still hot.
In one embodiment, the mat is made of silicone rubber, many common tbrms of which naturally provide the required features of resistance to thermal damage, low thermal conductivity and significant resistance to slipping.
Silicone rubber and some other materials are normally readily charged with static electricity, so that dust and other things then stick to them. The mat may be treated so that it is resistant to the accumulation of static electricity. In the case of a silicone rubber mat, it may contain electrically conductive particles. Alternatively or additionally, at least the bulk of the upper face of the mat may be provided with surface decoration so as to disguise any dust particles that may collect thereon. The surface decoration may be provided by particles that may, for example, be moulded into the mat. It has been found to be particularly effective to use glitter particles. Alternatively or additionally, the surface decoration may be provided by swirls of different colours.
At least part of the lower face of the mat preferably has surface formations, such as grooves, so as to increase the thermal insulation provided by the mat. Also, at least part of the lower face of the mat is preferably plain so as to increase the friction or stickyness of the mat.
The part with surface tbrmations preferably surrounds the plain part SO that, in use when a tong-like hair-shaping device is placed on the mat, the part with surface formations will generally be underneath the hottest part of the hair shaping device, and the plain part will be underneath the centre of gravity of the device.
In order to reduce the risk of the hair-shaping device slipping or twisting on the mat, for example if its mains power cord is accidentally nudged, so that the heated parts of the device come into direct contact with the support surface, the mat may have an upstanding lip extending along at least one edge thereof and more preferably along at least two edges thereof. In one embodiment, the mat may be generally rectangular. In this case, said one lipped edge, or each of said two lipped edges, is preferably a longer edge of the mat. In another embodiment, the mat is generally heart-shaped. Not only may this make the mat aesthetically attractive, but as will be seen from the subsequent description and drawings, it reduces the amount of material required for the mat compared with a correspondingly-sized rectangular mat. The heart-shaped mat preferably has an upstanding lip extending along the top and side edges of the heart shape and is preferably devoid of such an upstanding lip at and adjacent the base of the heart shape.
A second aspect of the present invention extends to the use, for example in the hairdressing industry, of a protective mat of the tirst aspect of the invention between a heated hair-shaping device and a support surface.
Specitic embodiments of the present invention will now be described, purely by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a schematic isometric view of a hair straightening device; Figure 2 is an isometric view of a tirst embodiment of protective mat and the hair straightening device; Figure 3 is an isometric view of a second embodiment of protective mat and the hair straightening device; Figure 4 is an isometric view of a third embodiment of protective mat; Figure 5 is similar to Figure 4, but also showing the hair straightening device; Figure 6 is an isometric view of a fourth embodiment of protective mat and a hair-straightening device; Figure 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the mat of Figure 6; Figure 8 is an isometric view of the underside of the mat of Figure 6; Figure 9 is an end view of the mat of Figure 6 rolled up and secured with a strap; and Figure 10 is an isometric view of the strap.
Referring to Figure 2, the first embodiment of protective mat 10 tbr a hair-straightening device 12 is generally in the form of a rectangle having a length L of about 250 to 300 mm, a width W of about 150 to 200 mm and a thickness T of about 3 mm. The mat 10 is cut from a sheet of silicone rubber. The silicone rubber incorporates electrically conductive particles of, fcr example, iron, nickel or carbon so that the mat 10 does not readily charge with static electricity. The silicone rubber also incorporates a thermochromic dye or pigment so that its colour changes with temperature. Therefore, when the device 12 is placed on the mat 10 and the heated plates 18 are hot, a region 24 of the mat 10 beneath the plates 18 changes colour, as shown by the cross-hatching in Figure 2. A user can theretöre tell at a glance whether the hair-straighten ing device 12 has cooled down.
Referring to Figure 3, the second embodiment of protective mat 10 is similar to the mat 10 of Figure 2, except that it is injection-moulded so as to have an upstanding up 24 along each longer edge of the mat 10. The lips 24 rise to a height H of about 6 mm above the upper face of the main portion of the mat 10. In use, the hair-straightening device 12 is placed lengthwise Ofl the mat 10. In the event that the device 12 or its power cord 20 is nudged slightly, the lips 24 tend to keep the heated plates 18 within the bounds of the mat 10.
Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the third embodiment of protective mat 10 is similar to the mat 10 of Figure 3, except that it is heart-shaped and the lip 24 extends all around the edge of the heart shape except in the region of the base 26 of the heart-shape. In use, the hair-straightening device 12 is placed on the mat 10 with its hinged joint adjacent the base 26 of the heart shape and with the arms 14 of the device 12 extending towards the lobes of the heart shape.
Referring to Figures 6 to 10, the fourth embodiment of protective mat 10 is generally oval or elliptical in outline, having a major axis length of about 310 mm and a minor axis length of about 210 mm. The general thickness of the mat is about 2.5 mm. However, a band 28 (Figure 6) of a width of about 10 mm around the edge of the mat 10 is reduced in thickness on the upper face of the mat 10 to about 1.7 mm. This makes the edge of the mat 10 more compliant so that it will more readily lie flat on a surface after it has been unrolled. Also, if a user needs a smaller mat because of limited space on their work surface, they can readily cut neatly with scissors around the boundary line between the peripheral band 28 and the main portion of the mat 10 so as to remove the peripheral band 28 and reduce the size of the mat to about 290 mm by 190 mm.
On the underside of the mat 10, the marginal band 28 is plain, as too is a central elliptical region 30 having a major axis length of about 120 mm and a minor axis length of about 80 mm. However, between the central region 30 and the peripheral band 28, the mat 10 is ribbed with grooves 32 extending parallel to the minor elliptical axis. The grooves 32 have a depth of about 1 mm and a pitch of about 5 mm. The grooves 32 (i) serve to increase the thermal insulation effect of the mat 10, (ii) increase the flexibility of the mat 10 so that it can more easily and tightly be rolled up about a roll axis generally parallel to the minor elliptical axis and (iii) reduce the amount of material in. and therefOre the cost of. the mat 10. The plain central region 30 serves to provide good frictional grip between the underside of the mat 10 and the work surface.
The mat 10 is moulded from silicone rubber such that the moulded mat 10 has a Shore hardness of 60. The moulding material incorporates a conventional heat-resistance additive so that the moulded mat 10 can withstand temperatures up to 250°C. The silicone rubber also incorporates a thermochromic dye or pigment so that its colour changes with temperature.
Therefore, when the hair straightening device 12 is placed on the mat 10 and the heated plates 18 are hot, a region 24 of the mat 10 beneath the plates 18 changes colour, as shown by the cross-hatching in Figure 6. A user can therefore tell at a glance whether the hair-straightening device 12 has cooled down. The silicone rubber may also incorporate electrically-conductive particles of fOr example, iron, nickel or carbon so that the mat 10 does not readily charge with static electricity and attract dust. Additionally or alternatively, shiny glitter particles are included in the moulding material so that some of the glitter particles 34 are visible on the surfaces of the moulded mat 10. The glitter particles 34 not only provide a decorative effect, but also disguise or overshadow any dust particles that are attracted to the mat 10. In an example, the glitter particles 34 are about 0.4 mm across and have a density at the surface of the mat 10 of about 20 to 40 particles/cm2. Rather than using shiny glitter particles, other particles of a contrasting colour to the main colour of the mat 10 may be included in the moulding material to disguise dust particles. Additionally or alternatively, the moulding material may be of two or more colours that are mixed immediately before being placed in the mould so as to provide swirls of different colours on the surface of the mat 10. Furthermore, the mould surfaces are treated so as to provide a matt lustre to the main surfaces of the mat 10, which also serves to disguise any dust particles that are attracted to the mat.
The mat 10 of Figures 6 to 9 is provided with a Velcro� strap 36 (Figure 10) having hook elements 38 on one side and loop elements 40 on the opposite side. When the mat 10 is rolled up, as shown in Figure 9, the strap 36 can be wrapped around the mat 10 and attached to itself so as to keep the mat 10 tidy. Alternatively, the mat 10 may be rolled around the arms 14 of the hair straightening device 12 while the plates 18 are still hot and bound with the strap 36 SO that the device 12 can be put away. Instead of being provided with a separate strap 36, the strap 36 may he permanently joined to one end of the mat 10.
It will be appreciated that many modifications and developments may be made to the embodiments of the invention described above. For example, the mat be made in other shapes.
The straight grooves 32 of the fourth embodiment may be replaced by other surface formations.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the invention have been described above purely by way of example and that many other modifications and developments may be made thereto within the scope of the present invention.
