Definitions

  • the subject matter of the invention is a wig system comprising a temperature control accessory.
  • Another subject matter is an accessory and method for controlling the temperature under a wig.
  • the invention concerns the general technical field of wigs worn by humans, and more particularly that of accessories for controlling the temperature of the scalp when a wig is worn.
  • Wigs are well known in the prior art. They may be worn for reasons related to fashion, for aesthetic or work considerations or to conform to cultural or religious requirements. Wigs may also be worn in order to conceal a loss of hair, in particular following medical treatment such as chemotherapy.
  • Wigs have the disadvantage of excessively heating the scalp of the wearer during the summer and/or in the case of high ambient heat.
  • temperature control accessories configured to be arranged under the wig when it is installed on the scalp of the wearer.
  • a temperature control device comprising pouches of heating/cooling gel arranged between the body of the wig and the scalp of the wearer.
  • the wearer When the gel is no longer active, the wearer must return home in order to remove the pouches from the wig and place them in a refrigerator or in an oven in order to cool or heat said gel.
  • This control device is therefore effective only during the short period when the gel is active.
  • KR 100894715 (FAJIN COSMETICS) or KR 20100051144 (CHO YOUNG SOO) teach the use of a phase-change material for controlling the temperature under a wig. It will easily be understood that a wig that includes such a control device is very complex to manufacture and certainly very expensive.
  • a wig comprising a central net made from carbon fibers is also known through the patent document EP 0.476.132 (MASAKATSU). These fibers have the particularity of being highly heat conductive, which cools the scalp. Such fibers are however fragile so that this type of wig is suitable only for relatively careful wearers.
  • EP 2.027.785 (ADERANS HOLDINGS) concerns a moisture-permeable material for wigs preventing sweltering heat when a wig is being worn.
  • This material has a structure with three layers comprising a porous polyurethane employed as a middle material, a meshed layer consisting of a synthetic fiber or a natural fiber that is situated on the side of the middle material that will be in contact with the head, and a layer of fibers consisting of a synthetic fiber or a natural fiber serving to plant artificial hair or natural hair that is layered on the other side of the middle material.
  • the results obtained are not optimum.
  • the main objective of the invention is to remedy this state of affairs.
  • one objective of the invention is to propose a temperature control accessory that can effectively fulfil its role over a long period so that the wearer of the wig is not obliged to return home in order to “reactivate” it.
  • Another objective of the invention is to propose a temperature control accessory that is very easy to manufacture, inexpensive and very simple to use and which can easily be manipulated.
  • Another objective of the invention is to propose a temperature control accessory that is completely unobtrusive when it is installed under the wig.
  • the solution proposed by the invention is a wig system, for example of the type described in the aforementioned document AU 722661 (BUNTER), and comprising a temperature control accessory configured so as to be arranged under the wig when it is installed on the scalp of the wearer, and in which:
  • the wearer therefore now has available a comfort accessory that is very simple to use. This is because, when it is too hot, it suffices for the wearer to go to a public or private water point (restrooms, bathrooms, fountains, etc.), to moisten the cap, and to replace it under his wig. The wearer therefore no longer needs to return home in order to “reactivate” it, the moistening of the skull cap being able to be done quickly, discretely and as required, by going for example to the restrooms in a restaurant.
  • the applicant has found that the refreshing sensation appears almost instantaneously as soon as the moistened skull cap is replaced directly on the scalp.
  • the skull cap can be completely disconnected from the wig, handling it is much easier.
  • this novel comfort accessory is completely undetectable when it is placed under the wig.
  • Another aspect of the invention concerns an accessory for controlling the temperature under a wig, said accessory being in the form of a removable flexible skull cap delimited by a perimeter having a shape adapted to the shape of the skull of the wearer, said skull cap comprising an internal face and an external face opposite to said internal face, at least said internal face being produced from an absorbent material intended to be moistened, and at least said external face being flesh colored.
  • Yet another aspect of the invention concerns a method for controlling the temperature under a wig comprising a body delimited by a perimeter and having a shape adapted to the shape of the skull of the wearer, hairs being fixed to said body, said method comprising the steps consisting of:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the arrangement of the various elements constituting the system that is the subject matter of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the system that is the subject matter of the invention installed on the head of a wearer
  • FIG. 3 is a flat view of a skull cap according to the invention according to a first embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a view in cross section along A-A of the skull cap of FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 5 is a flat view of a skull cap according to the invention in a variant embodiment.
  • the invention proposes a temperature control accessory that is configured to be arranged under a wig when the latter is installed on the scalp of the wear.
  • the wig P comprises a body 1 delimited by a perimeter 10 .
  • the body 1 is designed so as to be adapted to the shape of the skull of the wearer.
  • the body 1 is for example produced from fabric or is in the form of a net.
  • the body 1 has an internal face intended to come into contact with the scalp of the wearer and an external face on which synthetic false or natural hairs are fixed.
  • the perimeter 10 is advantageously produced from an extensible material, of the elastane type, in order to adapt easily to the shape and dimensions of the skull.
  • the body 1 and/or the perimeter 10 may comprise fixing means, for example of the rubberized non-slip pad type disposed on the internal face of said body and/or of said perimeter that is in contact with said scalp.
  • fixing means for example of the rubberized non-slip pad type disposed on the internal face of said body and/or of said perimeter that is in contact with said scalp.
  • this control accessory A is in the form of skull cap 2 that is flexible and is delimited by a perimeter 20 having a shape adapted to the shape of the skull of the wearer.
  • the perimeter 20 is smaller than the perimeter 10 of the body 1 of the wig P. In this way, when the system that is the subject matter of the invention is installed on the head of the wearer, the skull cap 2 does not project beyond the wig P, as appears clearly in FIG. 2 .
  • the skull cap 2 is removable with respect to the body 1 of the wig P.
  • the skull cap 2 can therefore be manipulated completely independently of the wig P.
  • there exist no connection means between the skull cap 2 and the body 1 although removable connection means of the Velcro® strip, hook, or press stud type can be provided between these two elements.
  • the skull cap 2 comprises an internal face 21 intended to be in contact with the scalp of the wearer and an external face 22 opposite to said internal face. At least the external face 22 (which is visible when the skull cap is installed on the scalp of the wearer) is produced from a flesh-colored material.
  • the two faces 21 , 22 may obviously be colored. This color may be darker or lighter in order to suit any type of person. The use of such a color makes the skull cap 2 completely invisible when it is installed under the wig. And even if the body 1 is in the form of a net and it is possible to see through, the skull cap 2 is completely undetectable.
  • the two faces 21 , 22 of the skull cap 2 are colored by a coloring method in which a dye that is insoluble in water is used.
  • the material of the skull cap 2 is absorbent so as to be able to be moistened before said skull cap is installed on the scalp of the wearer.
  • the internal 21 and external 22 faces of the skull cap 2 can be produced from an absorbent material so that the said two faces can equally well be in contact with the scalp. This simplifies not only the manufacture of the skull cap 2 but also use thereof. Provision can however be made for only the internal face 21 to be produced from an absorbent material.
  • the absorbent material used is preferentially based on microfibers comprising between 60% and 90% polyester and between 10% and 40% polyamide. This material has the advantage of being very lightweight and being able to absorb a relatively large quantity of water. “Microfibers” means textile fibers the mass per unit length (or yarn count) of which is less than 1 g/10 km and the diameter of which is less than approximately 9 m. In practice, the percentage of microfibers is from 70% to 95%.
  • the absorbent material may however be different, and in particular advantageously chosen from the following family: bamboo, terry cloth or cotton fibers.
  • the method for manufacturing the skull cap 2 is very simple. It suffices in fact to cut it from a piece of material at least one of the faces 21 , 22 of which is absorbent. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5 , seams 200 are advantageously produced on the perimeter 20 of the skull cap 2 in order to prevent fraying of the material constituting said skull cap.
  • the skull cap 2 is preferably oblong in shape.
  • the perimeter 2 has two symmetrical concave portions 20 A, 20 B connected by two circular end portions 20 C, 20 D.
  • the two concave portions 20 A and 20 B are designed so as to leave the passage for the ears completely free when the skull cap 2 is placed on the scalp of the wearer.
  • These concave portions 20 A, 20 B may however have a particular curvature for covering part of the temples of the wearer (the temporal part of the skull).
  • One of the circular end portions for example the portion 20 C, is configured so as to cover part of the nape of the wearer (the occipital part of the skull).
  • the other circular end portion 20 D for its part is configured so as to cover part of the top of the skull of the wearer (the parietal and frontal parts of the skull).
  • the two circular end portions 20 C, 20 D have the same dimensions.
  • the skull cap 2 makes it possible to cover identically, that is to say with the same surface area, the nape of the wearer and the top of his skull.
  • the skull cap 2 has the rough shape of a pear.
  • the form of the perimeter 20 is similar to that described previously. It does however have two symmetrical concave portions 20 A, 20 B connected by two circular end portions 20 C, 20 D. However, unlike the embodiment described in the previous paragraph, the two circular end portions 20 C, 20 D have different sizes. In this way, the wearer has the possibility of covering more either his nape or the top of his skull.
  • the skull cap 2 may have a circular shape, similar to a kippa (a religious headgear worn in particular during Jewish ceremonies).
  • a skull cap makes it possible to cover only part of the top of the skull of the wearer and in particular the parietal part of the skull.
  • the use of the accessory A that is the subject matter of the invention is very simple.
  • the wearer removes his wig from his scalp. This removal can be done very discretely, for example in the restroom of a restaurant. He then moistens his accessory by soaking the skull cap 2 with liquid, for example by passing it under a stream of water from the tap or by wetting it by means of a bottle of water or a water vaporizer.
  • the liquid used may optionally be composed of dermatologically acceptable essential oils and/or consist of an anti-irritant and soothing lotion. If necessary, the skull cap 2 is wrung out in order to prevent any running. The wearer then merely has to install the moist skull cap 2 on his scalp.
  • the skull cap holds perfectly on the scalp without its being necessary to provide any means for holding in position.
  • the wearer can then reinstall his wig, on top of the moist skull cap 2 , so that said skull cap does not project beyond the body 1 of said wig. All these operations can be performed as required, in a few seconds or a few minutes. And the refreshing effect is immediate.
