Description

  The present invention is a hair arranging device including an arrangement work portion configured in a comb shape, the arrangement work portion including two comb teeth rows, one of the comb teeth rows being displaceable with respect to the other, The present invention relates to a hair arranging device that opens and closes a hair receiving gap between one comb tooth of the other comb tooth row and one comb tooth of the other comb tooth row.

  A hair arranging device, for example a so-called straight curling iron, can comprise an arranging work part configured in a comb shape in a straight curling iron. The arrangement work part of this type of hair arranging device includes a comb row composed of comb teeth spaced apart from each other, and each of two adjacent comb teeth spaced apart from each other forms one hair receiving gap. surround. For the process of applying a hair iron, each hair receiving part or at least one of the two comb teeth surrounding each hair receiving part comprises a first molded part. This molded part is movably attached to the other comb tooth surrounding the hair receiving gap. There is a hair receiving gap between two shaped parts that act on each other under pretension for the hair arranging process, into which the hair bundle to be ironed is inserted. Such an ironing pad itself is such that a hair arrangement device is applied to the end on the root side of the hair part to be ironed, a hair bundle is inserted into the hair receiving gap of the hair receiving part or the arranging work part, and the hair receiving gap is inserted. This is done by advancing the hair bundle captured by the through the arranging work part. This is typically done by appropriately moving the hair arranging device relative to the head of the person arranging the hair.

  According to known hair arranging devices, the first movably attached molded part is individually attached to one comb with a spring. In such a hair arrangement device, the insertion of the hair bundle into the hair receiving gap takes place against the force of the spring element exerted on the first molded part. When there is hair or a bundle of bundles in the plurality of hair receiving gaps, the ironing movement is performed. In so doing, the spring force exerted on the individual first molded part determines the force exerted on the hair during the ironing process. Therefore, the second molded part is an abutting member. In order to supply the heat necessary for the process of applying a hair iron, this known hair arranging device is equipped with a hot air blower, and the flow of hot air is fed into the arranging work part. The arrangement work part itself is provided with an air outlet opening in the region of the root part of the fixed comb teeth so that the outgoing warm air flow reaches the hair to be arranged.

  From patent document 1 a further hair arrangement device of this kind is known. This hair arranging device differs from that described above in the following points. That is, the first molded parts are connected to each other by the web, and these molded parts can be moved relative to the fixed comb teeth against the force of the restoring spring as a molded part unit as a whole. In this case, the shaped element unit can be guided to the position where the hair receiving gap is opened by the adjusting element. The advantage is that it is possible to facilitate the introduction of the hair bundles to be inserted into the respective hair receiving gaps. Furthermore, in this form, the restoring force as well as the force exerted on the hair during the process of applying a hair iron can be adjusted. In this known device, the ironing hair is pushed under the complementary comb arch by a displaceable comb and pulls the hair through a plurality of edges for the purpose of ironing. This hurts hair.

European Patent Application No. 1721539A1 German utility model No. 20 2009 011 098 U1

  The object of the present invention is therefore to improve such a hair arrangement device of the kind mentioned at the outset so that the hair arrangement, in particular the finish in the ironing process, causes less damage to the hair.

  The object is according to the invention to this kind of hair arranging device as mentioned at the outset, in which the displaceable comb row moves relative to the other comb row to close the hair receiving gap. A gap that is limited by the stopper and has a small width, but a width corresponding to several times the diameter of the hair arranged by the hair arranging device, between the mutually facing forming surfaces of the comb teeth surrounding one hair receiving gap It is solved by a hair arrangement device that makes it remain.

  In this hair arranging device, the displacement of the other comb tooth row with respect to one comb tooth row is carried out against the stopper when moving to close the hair receiving gap for the purpose of performing the ironing operation. This stopper arrangement of the mutually displaceable comb teeth is achieved before the two molding surfaces contact each other so that no gaps remain between the molding surfaces. The inner width of this gap between the forming surfaces at the closed position of the hair receiving gap is small, but corresponds to several times the thickness or diameter of the hair arranged by the hair arranging device. According to one preferred exemplary embodiment, the inner width of this gap is 2 to 5 times the diameter of the hair to be arranged. With this hair arranging device, a new idea for applying the pressure required for the hair arranging process is realized. In known hair arranging devices, in particular straight hair irons, they are basically based on applying as high pressure as possible to the hair to be arranged between two shaping surfaces or pulling the hair through the edges, but in practice Surprisingly, it was possible to observe that the finish of the hair arrangement, and thus the arrangement process, was improved when a small pinching pressure exerted on the arranging hair was applied by cooperating comb teeth. In order to apply a uniform clamping pressure to the hair introduced into each one of the hair receiving gaps when using the hair arrangement device, the displacement movement of the other comb row relative to the comb teeth opened the above-mentioned remaining gap. The state is limited by the stopper. Since the width of the remaining gap is larger than the diameter of the hair to be arranged, the clamping pressure applied to the hair to be arranged is determined by the amount of hair introduced into the hair receiving gap, and thus the amount of hair bundle introduced. The comb arrangement of the hair arranging device is such that at least approximately the same size of hair bundle is drawn into each hair receiving gap, so that the hair within it is closed with at least approximately the same clamping pressure. Ensures that it is pulled through the hair receiving gap in position. Further, due to the restriction by the stopper, the clamping pressure is kept uniform as described above, irrespective of the actual force applied, and in particular independent of the applied force. This ensures a hair arrangement with a reproducible and very uniform hair arrangement finish.

  Surprisingly, in addition to what has been explained above, not only will the finishing of the arrangement be improved, but it will also make sure that the hair arranged in this way will look better and in particular will have a better gloss. I was able to. This is also due to the defined clamping pressure exerted on the arranging hair.

  In one variant, a displaceable comb row stopper arrangement relative to the other comb row at the closed position of the hair receiving gap is provided. The ability to have such an arrangement serves the purpose of allowing the gap remaining in the closed position of the arrangement work part to be adjusted with respect to its width, typically in accordance with the thickness of the hair to be ironed. The inner width of this residual gap should not be too large, and should preferably be no more than 5 times the diameter of the hair to be ironed. Nevertheless, the inner width of the gap should be larger than the diameter of the hair to which the iron is applied so that the hair is not caught. Depending on the type of hair being ironed, the diameter of the hair varies. Thus, the adjustability described above allows the residual gap to be adapted to the hair to be ironed.

  Preferably, at least one restoring element, such as a compression spring, acts on the displaceable comb row to keep it against the other comb row in a position where the hair receiving gap is open. Therefore, the displacement movement of this comb row for closing the hair receiving gap for the purpose of carrying out the arrangement process takes place against the restoring force of this at least one restoring element.

  To support hair separation, the hair arranging device can include a comb arch that extends above the fixed comb teeth. The width of the comb arch is preferably designed so that at least approximately one fixed comb and movable comb are arranged under such a comb arch when the hair receiving gap is open Is done. The comb arch will divide the hair to be arranged into hair bundles that will be fed into the hair receiving gap located below the comb arch. Due to the subsequent closing movement of the comb teeth of the comb teeth to be moved relative to the other comb teeth, the excess hair is removed from the hair receiving gap by the movement of the hair extension extending over the respective complementary comb teeth.

  Further advantages and forms of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The housing half 5 visible in FIG. 1 comprises a row of comb arches 6, and as can be seen in FIG. Placed in. Nevertheless, since the combed arch-like portion 6 divides the hair to be ironed into a bundle of bundles, the comb-like arch-like portion 6 is also regarded as a part of the iron portion 2. Therefore, the hair iron device 1 is a device configured in a comb shape. The comb arch portions 6 are spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the hair iron device 1.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, under the comb arch 6 there are two interdigitated rows Z ₁ , Z ₂ , and in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the comb row Z _2. There is displaceable in translation relative to the other fixed comb teeth Z _1. Each of the comb tooth rows Z ₁ and Z ₂ is a part of a comb tooth unit, and the comb tooth unit is made of a part having a high thermal conductivity, for example, aluminum, for example, by aluminum die casting. The comb teeth rows Z ₁ and Z ₂ can be moved relative to each other, for example, as described in Patent Document 2. By explicit reference here to this document, the related embodiments in Patent Document 2 are also considered part of this embodiment.

Kushiharetsu _{Z 2} comb _Z 2.1 _{to Z 2. x} is the comb teeth Z _{1.1 to} Z ₁ of the comb tooth row Z ₁ from their roots _{. It} extends higher than _x . Comb teeth _Z 1.1 _{~Z 1.} comb teeth _Z 2.1 _{to Z 2} with respect to _x. The configuration of _x will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the two comb units are in this mutual position, the comb unit supporting the comb row Z ₂ is held by the compression spring 7. In the embodiment not shown in detail, the comb-tooth unit having Kushiharetsu Z ₂ is connected to the actuating element 4 mounted like a seesaw, displaced relative to the comb-tooth unit which supports the Kushiharetsu Z ₁ To do.

  FIG. 3 shows a top view of the front part of the hair ironing appliance 1 with the iron part 2.

Comb teeth _Z 1.1 _{~Z 1. x} and comb teeth Z _{2.1 to} Z of the other comb tooth unit _. The configuration of _x can be seen in the enlarged view of FIG. In this figure, the comb units are in the mutual positions shown in FIG. Therefore, the hair receiving gap H is open. When the two comb units are in this mutual position, one comb tooth Z _{1.1 to} Z ₁ of the comb row Z ₁ is provided below the comb arch 6 _. One comb teeth of _x and the comb column _{Z 2 Z} 2.1 _{~Z 2.} There is _x .

Hereinafter, the comb tooth pairs Z _1.1 and Z _2.1 surrounding one hair receiving gap H will be described in more detail. The same is true for another pair of comb teeth surrounding one hair receiving gap H. The comb tooth Z _1.1 of the comb tooth row Z ₁ has a molding surface 8 facing the complementary comb tooth Z _2.1 . This molding surface 8 is designed flat in the exemplary embodiment shown. Similarly, the comb tooth Z _2.1 is provided with a complementary shaping surface 8.1 on the side facing the comb tooth Z _1.1 . Comb teeth _{Z 2.1} is out higher extend than the comb teeth _{Z 1.1,} it supports the hair divided extending portions 9 to high extension out portions than the comb teeth _{Z 1.1.} The hair-divided extension 9 is designed as an extension protruding beyond the shaping surface 8.1 and when the two comb units are in the closed position relative to each other, the upper surface of the comb teeth Z _1.1 10 is overhanging. The hair-dividing extension 9 has a lower surface 11 protruding from the molding surface 8.1 in a substantially rectangular shape, and this lower surface 11 is connected to the front hair-sharing edge 12. From the hair-dividing edge 12, the comb tooth Z _2.1 tapers in the direction of the apex of the comb arch 6 surrounding the comb tooth Z _2.1 in the open position. This inclination is indicated by reference numeral 13.

To arrange the hair introduced into the hair receiving gap H moves, the actuating element 4 is actuated by the actuating comb-tooth row Z ₂ so as to close the hair receiving gap H is relative to the comb teeth Z ₁ Is done. The displacement of the comb-tooth unit that supports the comb-tooth row Z <b> ₂ is performed against the restoring force of the compression spring 7. FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of the _two comb teeth Z ₁ and Z _{2 in} the closed position. In this position, the hair separation extending portion 9 protrudes from the upper surface 10 of the comb tooth Z _{1.1 at} the hair separation edge portion 12 and a part of the lower surface 11. There is a gap between the lower surface 11 of the hair separating extension 9 of the comb tooth Z _2.1 and the upper surface 10 of the complementary comb tooth Z _1.1. This corresponds to several times the average hair thickness of the hit hair. This gap can be, for example, 0.5 to 0.6 mm. Kushiharetsu _{Z 2} is closed moves translationally relative to the comb teeth _{Z 1,} comb teeth _Z 2.1 _{to Z 2} of Kushiharetsu _{Z 2. When} the hair dividing extension portion 9 of _x advances on the upper surface 10 of each comb tooth of the comb tooth row Z ₁ , the hair not fitted in the hair receiving gap H is removed from the hair remaining in the hair receiving gap H. Divided and extruded. The hair is slowly pushed into the gap between the comb arches 6 by the slope 13. Thereby, effective and effective hair separation is carried out in the gap of the comb arch, in which the hair ironing process is defined in the hair gap H between the shaping surfaces 8, 8.1. Only the amount of hair that can be done on the street remains. At this time, it is utilized that the hair is evenly distributed between the molding surfaces 8, 8.1 arranged in parallel to each other. This makes it possible for the hair-splitting element 9 to be able to push excess hair out of the comb tooth space. In the closed position of the comb teeth of Kushiharetsu Z _2, the hair divided extending portion 9 engages under the comb arcuate portion 6 surrounding the complementary comb teeth Z _1.

In the process of advancing the hair to be ironed through the hair ironing device 1, while the hair is advanced through the hair ironing device, the hair in the hair receiving gap H does not come out of the hair ironing device 1 in a direction transverse to the moving direction. In addition, the hair separation extending portion 9 further functions as an effective element for closing the upper side of the hair receiving gap H. In this regard, complementary comb teeth _{Z 1.1, Z 2.1; ...;} Z 1. _x , Z2 _{. The} gap between _x and the engagement of the hair-spreading extension 9 under the comb arch 6 surrounding the fixed comb tooth Z _1.1 constitutes the labyrinth structure.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the iron part 2 is in the closed position, the comb unit that supports the comb teeth Z < _b > ₂ hits the stopper 14 (see FIG. 6) and is stopped. Stopper 14, moving amount capable comb unit for supporting the Kushiharetsu Z _2, are designed to form surfaces 8,8.1 do not contact each other. This is customary with conventional hair ironing equipment. The gap 15 remains, and its inner width is several times larger than the thickness of the hair arranged by the hair iron device 1. Typically, the inner width of the gap corresponds to 2 to 5 times the diameter of the thickness of the hair arranged by the hair ironing device 1. This residual gap remaining between the molding surfaces 8, 8.1 can have an inner width of 0.3 to 0.4 mm, for example. Typically, the inner width of this remaining gap is slightly smaller than the gap between the lower surface 11 of the hair-spreading extension 9 and the upper surface 10 of the complementary comb teeth. Actuating the comb teeth unit for supporting the comb teeth Z ₂ relative to the other comb-tooth unit is performed manually, as described above. When advancing the hair to be ironed through the hair ironing device 1, the hair ironing process is carried out with the same ironing pressure, irrespective of the actuating force exerted on the actuating element 4. Displacement movement of the comb teeth units supporting the Kushiharetsu Z ₂ is ultimately limited by the stopper. In this idea, the pressure applied to the hair in the hair receiving gap H or the remaining gap 15 is defined by the amount of hair in the hair receiving gap. This amount of hair is also given in advance by the above-mentioned hair split with small variations and is therefore reproducible and a very even amount of hair is received in all the hair receiving gaps, thereby further ironing The finish can be made uniform. When the hair is advanced through the hair ironing apparatus 1 to iron the hair while the actuating element 4 is actuated, the comb tooth unit supporting the comb tooth Z ₂ by the energy accumulated in the compression spring 7 is again shown in FIGS. The actuating element 4 can be released so that it is returned to the position shown in FIG. The hair ironing process can be repeated at the same location or at another location.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the comb teeth to support the comb teeth Z ₁ is heated by the PTC heating element. Comb teeth _Z 2.1 _{to Z 2. When x} is in the open position shown in FIGS. 1-4, the comb teeth _Z 2.1 _{to Z 2} This PCT heating _{element. x is} also heated.

FIG. 7 shows a side view of the above-described portion of the hair ironing device 1 in a state where the hair receiving gap is closed, that is, in the use position. Comb hair divided extending portions 9 of Kushiharetsu Z ₂ is, can be seen clear how the engagement underneath the comb arcuate portion 6 which surrounds the comb teeth of Kushiharetsu Z _1.

  The invention has been described on the basis of exemplary embodiments. Numerous additional forms capable of implementing the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the claims.
