Definitions

• the invention relates to a hair cosmetic treatment device with at least one curler which consists of a winding body and an enveloping body enclosing the latter with an intermediate space for receiving a hair winding, the winding body and the enveloping body being able to be tightly connected to one another and the enveloping body having an inlet and has an outlet connection for the treatment agent, which lead to the outside from the space between the winding body and the enveloping body, and with a control and supply device which connects the inlet connection of the enveloping body with at least one storage container for the treatment agent, the outlet connection of the enveloping body with at least one receptacle for the used Treatment agent and the inlet connection with the outlet connection in the form of a ring line are optionally connected via controllable valves and have a pump which is arranged such that it allows the treatment agent to flow through the space in the hair curler.
• the pump is on the output side, i.e. connected on the positive pressure side to the inlet connection of the hair curler and on the negative pressure side to the storage container or, in the case of a closed ring line, to the outlet connection of the hair curler.
• the pump thus pumps the treatment agent from the storage container via the inlet connection into the hair curler, through the space between the winding body and the enveloping body and from the outlet connection of the hair curler to the receptacle for the used treatment agent or, if appropriate Position of the valves in the circuit through the ring line which connects the inlet and outlet connection of the hair curler.
• a treatment device of the type described above usually comprises a large number of hair curlers, for example 40 to 60 hair curlers with the associated feed and discharge lines, this results in a considerable amount of sealing, since all lines must be provided with corresponding safety devices.
• the object on which the invention is based is therefore to design a hair-tight treatment device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it manages with little sealing effort, without check valves and quick-closing valves.
• the pump is arranged so that it applies a vacuum to the space between the winding body and the envelope of the hair curler.
• the pump in contrast to the known treatment device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the pump sucks the treatment agent out of the storage container and feeds it under pressure to the space in the curler, or in circuit operation, it sucks the treatment agent away from the outlet connection and under pressure to the inlet connection feeds again, in the treatment device according to the invention the pump is arranged so that it sucks the treatment agent through a vacuum built up in the intermediate space in the hair curler through the hair curler.
• the pump is preferably connected on the negative pressure side to the outlet connection of the enveloping body of the hair curler and on the positive pressure side to the inlet connection of the enveloping body of the hair curler in the ring line.
• the device according to the invention has the further advantage that faster wetting of the hair up to the tips of the hair is possible, since due to the negative pressure in the hair curler, the treatment agent is sucked through the hair roll wound on the winding body, so that a precisely defined flow of the treatment agent is ensured, With multi-component treatment agents, no foaming occurs and leakage in the event of damage is excluded.
• FIG. 1 shows the schematic circuit diagram of the exemplary embodiment of the treatment device according to the invention
• Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a winding body in a particularly preferred embodiment of the hair curler for use in the device according to the invention and
• Fig. 3 shows the enveloping body for the winding body shown in Fig. 2.
• Fig. 1 of the treatment device according to the invention comprises a number of hair curlers 1, which are connected in series with each other.
• FIGS. 2 and 3 A particularly preferred embodiment of the hair curlers 1 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
• the hair curler 1 consists of a winding body 15 with the shape shown in FIG. 2, which is conical to the outside and provided with longitudinal grooves or grooves 16 and transverse grooves 17.
• the hair wrap is wound onto the area of the transverse grooves 17, whereupon the one shown in FIG. 3 shown enveloping body 18 via a provided therein. Slit is pushed open to exit the hair wrap.
• the wrapping body 18 is provided with an inlet connection 20 and an outlet connection 19 for the treatment agent, which lead to the outside from the space between the winding body 15 and the wrapping body 18.
• both components are connected tightly at both axial ends by means of corresponding termination devices on the winding body 15 or an end cap 21 which is fitted onto one end of the wrapping body 15, 18.
• the winding body is usually constructed in two parts from two half-shells which are semicircular in cross section, which are connected to one another via hinge devices and which can be clamped together to close the hair curler.
• the series of hair curlers 1 is connected on the inlet side to a distributor 3 of a control and supply device 2, and in the event that the treatment device is used to treat several people at the same time, further distributors can be provided, which leads to another group of hair curlers at another treatment place, which is not shown.
• the distributor 3 is connected via a line 10 to a collector 5, which is connected via valves 13 to a plurality of storage containers 7 for the treatment liquids or the detergents and disinfectants.
• Mixing containers can be provided in which treatment agents of a certain composition are prepared for the treatment of a certain customer, which are also connected to the collector 5 via valves.
• the collector 5 is connected via a line 11, in which a valve 14 is located, to a distributor 6, which on the one hand is connected to the outlet side of the Row of curlers 1 via a collector 4 and on the other hand with receptacles 8 for the used treatment agent is also connected via valves 13.
• valve 14 If the valve 14 is opened and the other valves 13 are closed, then there is a ring line, which is produced by the hair curlers 1 via the distributor 3, the line 10, the collector 5, the line 11, the distributor 6, the line 12 and the Collector 4 leads back to the curlers 1.
• a pump 9 which is connected on the negative pressure side via the collector 4 to the outlet side of the hair curlers 1 and on the positive pressure side via the line 12 to the distributor 6 and thus ultimately to the inlet side of the hair curlers 1.
• the control of the treatment device i.e. in particular, the control of the individual valves and the pump 9 takes place via a main control and operating device, which is not shown in FIG. 1, and can be operated manually or has a free program storage capacity, so that it is freely programmable in order to the person served to work according to a specific individual program.
• the main unit also ensures that the used treatment agent is discharged to a receptacle 8 via the distributor 6.
• the valves 13 are closed and the valve 14 is opened, so that the treatment agent circulates freely through the ring line described above between the inlet and the outlet connection of the hair curlers 1 over the necessary treatment time.
• the change between the individual preparations and between the rinsing processes takes place via the control device, which controls the valves provided in the individual feed and discharge lines accordingly.
• the individual functions, working times and operations can be displayed on a control panel, which is not shown in the drawing.
• the flushing water supply can take place internally or externally through a container or through a line connection or in that the flushing water, similar to the used treatment agent, is returned after passing through separate filter stations for filtering out, in particular, the hair residues contained in the flushing water.
• a suction vacuum of 1.5 bar with a maximum line pressure of 3 bar is preferred.
• a treatment agent consists of several components, it is mixed precisely in a mixing section and the treatment agent can be preheated in a heating section as required.
• the preheating causes the air in the hair curlers and in the lines to relax more quickly, which accelerates the wetting of the hair.
• the treatment agent is sucked under vacuum through the individual hair curlers, the treatment agent is prevented from escaping due to the higher external pressure, without the need for special sealing devices. This applies in particular to the gap provided in the enveloping body of each hair curler for the exit of the hair wrap, which is difficult to seal.
• the arrangement of non-return valves and quick-closing valves is also superfluous, without the leakage safety being impaired.
• the pressure built up by the pump in the interior of the hair curlers further ensures that the treatment agent is sucked quickly and intensively through the hair wrap on the winding body, in particular also through the grooves 17 and 16 provided in the winding body, v / or by a rapid flow and wetting of the Hair up to the tips of the hair is ensured.
