Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'APPLICATION D'UN PRODUIT, NOTAMMENT UN PRODUIT COLORANT, SUR DES MECHES DE CHEVEUX DEVICE FOR APPLYING A PRODUCT, IN PARTICULAR A COLORING PRODUCT, TO HAIR LIST
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux, notamment un produit colorant, sur des mèches de cheveux.The present invention relates to a device allowing the application of a more or less viscous product, in particular a coloring product, to locks of hair.
Une technique de coloration de cheveux consiste à ne colorer que certaines mèches de cheveux. Cette technique est actuellement mise en oeuvre au moyen d'un pinceau, avec lequel du produit colorant est appliqué sur chacune des mèches à traiter. Cette technique demande un grand savoir-faire et nécessite beaucoup de temps pour sa mise en oeuvre.One technique for coloring hair is to color only certain strands of hair. This technique is currently implemented by means of a brush, with which coloring product is applied to each of the locks to be treated. This technique requires great know-how and requires a lot of time for its implementation.
Il existe un dispositif d'application de produit colorant sur des cheveux, décrit par le document EP-A-0 986 974 au nom du demandeur, comprenant un réservoir qui contient le produit à appliquer, et une tête de distribution de ce produit, pourvue de dents. Cette tête de distribution est reliée au réservoir par au moins un conduit d'alimentation en produit, débouchant dans le réservoir d'une part et à proximité de la base des dents d'autre part ; la tête de distribution comprend au moins une rangée de dents d'application de produit et au moins une rangée de dents de rétention de ce produit, s'étendant le long de chaque rangée de dents d'application et étant située à distance de celle-ci ; ces dents de rétention ont une plus faible hauteur que les dents d'application, et l'espace entre une rangée de dents d'application et une rangée de dents de rétention adjacente, ainsi que les espaces entre les dents de ces rangées, sont tels qu'ils permettent le passage des cheveux entre les dents de ces rangées mais qu'ils permettent de retenir le produit en eux, de sorte que ledit espace situé entre une rangée de dents d'application et une rangée de dents de rétention adjacente constitue un réservoir intermédiaire de produit, apte à recevoir et à retenir temporairement ce produit.There is a device for applying coloring product to hair, described by document EP-A-0 986 974 in the name of the applicant, comprising a reservoir which contains the product to be applied, and a dispensing head for this product, provided teeth. This dispensing head is connected to the reservoir by at least one product supply conduit, opening into the reservoir on the one hand and close to the base of the teeth on the other hand; the dispensing head comprises at least one row of product application teeth and at least one row of product retention teeth, extending along each row of application teeth and being located at a distance from it this ; these retention teeth have a lower height than the application teeth, and the space between a row of application teeth and an adjacent row of retention teeth, as well as the spaces between the teeth of these rows, are such that they allow the passage of the hair between the teeth of these rows but that they make it possible to retain the product in them, so that said space situated between a row of application teeth and a row of adjacent retention teeth constitutes a intermediate product tank, suitable for temporarily receiving and retaining this product.
Ce dispositif donne toute satisfaction en pratique dès lors qu'il s'agit d'opérer une coloration sur l'ensemble d'une chevelure. En revanche, il s'avère guère adapté à la réalisation d'une coloration partielle telle que précitée, dans laquelle seules certaines mèches de cheveux sont colorées.This device gives every satisfaction in practice when it comes to operating a coloration on the whole of a hair. On the other hand, it is hardly suitable for achieving partial coloring as mentioned above, in which only certain strands of hair are colored.
La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient. Le dispositif qu'elle concerne comprend, de manière connue en soi, un réservoir contenant le produit à appliquer et une tête de distribution comprenant au moins une rangée de dents d'application et au moins une rangée de dents de rétention, tels que précités. Selon l'invention, la tête de distribution comprend deux moyens de canalisation d'une mèche de cheveux lors du passage de cette mèche de cheveux sur ladite tête, situés de part et d'autre desdites dents.The present invention aims to remedy this drawback. The device to which it relates comprises, in a manner known per se, a reservoir containing the product to be applied and a dispensing head comprising at least one row of application teeth and at least one row of retention teeth, as mentioned above. According to the invention, the dispensing head comprises two means for channeling a lock of hair during the passage of this lock of hair over said head, located on either side of said teeth.
Ces deux moyens de canalisation permettent de parfaitement maintenir le produit à appliquer se trouvant entre une rangée de dents d'application et une rangée de dents de rétention, et de parfaitement canaliser une mèche de cheveux lors du passage de cette mèche entre les dents de la tête de distribution.These two channeling means make it possible to perfectly maintain the product to be applied lying between a row of application teeth and a row of retention teeth, and to perfectly channel a lock of hair during the passage of this lock between the teeth of the distribution head.
Avantageusement, la tête de distribution présente une forme allongée, et lesdits moyens de canalisation s'étendent au niveau des deux bords longitudinaux de cette tête.Advantageously, the dispensing head has an elongated shape, and said channeling means extend at the level of the two longitudinal edges of this head.
La tête de distribution et les moyens de canalisation précités qu'elle comporte définissent ainsi une goulotte relativement allongée et étroite, dans laquelle peut être reçue et peut coulisser, en étant parfaitement contenue, une mèche de cheveux.The dispensing head and the aforementioned channeling means which it comprises thus define a relatively elongated and narrow chute, in which can be received and can slide, while being perfectly contained, a lock of hair.
La tête de distribution peut comprendre des rangées de dents perpendiculaires à sa longueur, disposées selon une alternance de rangées de dents d'application et de rangées de dents de rétention, le nombre de rangées de dents d'application étant au moins égal à trois. Cette tête comprend ainsi un nombre relativement important de ces rangées, pour permettre une parfaite imprégnation de la mèche de cheveux par le produit à appliquer.The dispensing head may comprise rows of teeth perpendicular to its length, arranged in an alternation of rows of application teeth and rows of retention teeth, the number of rows of application teeth being at least three. This head thus comprises a relatively large number of these rows, to allow perfect impregnation of the lock of hair with the product to be applied.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, l'orifice par lequel chaque conduit d'alimentation en produit débouche entre deux rangées de dents présente une forme allongée et s'étend parallèlement aux rangées de dents, sur l'ensemble de la longueur de ces rangées ou tout au moins sur une majeure partie de cette longueur.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the orifice through which each product supply duct opens out between two rows of teeth has an elongated shape and extends parallel to the rows of teeth, over the entire length of these rows or at least over most of this length.
Cette forme des orifices permet une alimentation et une répartition du produit à appliquer qui s'avèrent parfaitement adaptées à une parfaite application du produit sur une mèche de cheveux.This shape of the orifices allows a supply and a distribution of the product to be applied which prove to be perfectly adapted to a perfect application of the product to a lock of hair.
Les dents peuvent avoir toute forme appropriée adaptée à la viscosité du produit. Ainsi, dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité relativement élevée, c'est-à-dire ayant une consistance de crème, chaque dent d'application présente une base de forme cylindrique s'étendant sensiblement jusqu'au sommet des dents de rétention tandis que chacune de ces dernières présente une forme sensiblement conique. Dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité moyenne ou faible, c'est- à-dire ayant respectivement une consistance de gel ou d'huile, chaque dent d'application présente une section de forme ovale s'étendant sensiblement jusqu'au sommet des dents de rétention tandis que chacune de ces dernières présente une forme sensiblement conique.The teeth may have any suitable shape adapted to the viscosity of the product. Thus, in the case of a product having a relatively high viscosity, that is to say having a consistency of cream, each application tooth has a base of cylindrical shape extending substantially to the top of the teeth of retention while each of these has a substantially conical shape. In the case of a product having a medium or low viscosity, that is to say having respectively a gel or oil consistency, each application tooth has an oval section extending substantially up to top of the retention teeth while each of these has a substantially conical shape.
Ces agencements s'avèrent permettre d'assurer la parfaite imprégnation des cheveux en produit, selon la viscosité de ce dernier, sans que les dents de rétention ne fassent obstacle au passage des cheveux sur elles. A leur partie supérieure, les dents d'application peuvent présenter une forme conique ou une forme en obus.These arrangements appear to make it possible to ensure perfect impregnation of the hair in product, according to the viscosity of the latter, without the retention teeth obstructing the passage of the hair over them. At their upper part, the application teeth may have a conical shape or a shell shape.
Les dents d'application et de rétention peuvent également avoir une forme cylindrique sur la majeure partie de leurs hauteurs et une forme conique au niveau de leurs extrémités libres. Lesdits moyens de canalisation peuvent être constitués par des parois, par des rangées de dents ou par des parois et des rangées de dents aménagées aux extrémités de ces parois.The application and retention teeth can also have a cylindrical shape over most of their heights and a conical shape at their free ends. Said channeling means can be constituted by walls, by rows of teeth or by walls and rows of teeth arranged at the ends of these walls.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif qu'elle concerne.For a good understanding, the invention is again described below with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the device which it concerns.
La figure 1 en est une vue en perspective, avec arrachement ; la figure 2 en est une vue partielle, de côté et en coupe longitudinale, et la figure 3 en est une vue de dessus.Figure 1 is a perspective view, broken away; Figure 2 is a partial view, from the side and in longitudinal section, and Figure 3 is a top view.
La figure 1 représente un dispositif 1 permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux, notamment un produit colorant, sur des mèches de cheveux.FIG. 1 represents a device 1 allowing the application of a more or less viscous product, in particular a coloring product, to locks of hair.
Le dispositif 1 comprend un réservoir 2 pour contenir le produit et une tête de distribution 3 de ce produit sur les cheveux.The device 1 comprises a reservoir 2 for containing the product and a dispensing head 3 for this product on the hair.
Dans l'exemple représenté, le réservoir 2 présente des parois latérales souples pour permettre l'expulsion du produit par pression sur ces parois. Ce réservoir 2 et la tête 3 peuvent être réalisés en matière synthétique, et le montage de cette tête 3 sur le réservoir 2 peut être réalisé par vissage ou encliquetage de la tête sur un goulot aménagé dans la partie supérieure du réservoir 2. La tête 3 présente une forme rectangulaire allongée. Elle comprend sept rangées de dents 5, 6, des orifices 7 d'écoulement du produit du réservoir 2 au niveau de la base de ces dents 5, 6, et deux parois latérales 8. Les rangées de dents 5, 6 sont disposées transversalement par rapport à la longueur de la tête 3, avec une alternance de rangées dans lesquelles les dents 5 sont comparativement plus longues et des rangées dans lesquelles les dents 6 sont comparativement plus courtes. Des rangées de dents 5 plus longues se trouvent aux extrémités de la tête 3. Dans l'exemple représenté, cette dernière comprend quatre rangées de dents 5 et trois rangées de dents 6 mais elle peut en comprendre plus ou moins sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.In the example shown, the reservoir 2 has flexible side walls to allow the product to be expelled by pressure on these walls. This tank 2 and the head 3 can be made of synthetic material, and the mounting of this head 3 on the tank 2 can be carried out by screwing or snapping the head onto a neck fitted in the upper part of the tank 2. The head 3 has an elongated rectangular shape. It comprises seven rows of teeth 5, 6, orifices 7 for the flow of product from the reservoir 2 at the base of these teeth 5, 6, and two side walls 8. The rows of teeth 5, 6 are arranged transversely by relative to the length of the head 3, with alternating rows in which the teeth 5 are comparatively longer and rows in which the teeth 6 are comparatively shorter. Longer rows of teeth 5 are located at the ends of the head 3. In the example shown, the latter comprises four rows of teeth 5 and three rows of teeth 6 but it can include more or less without departing from the scope of the invention. 'invention.
Les dents 5, 6 ont une forme cylindrique sur la majeure partie de leurs hauteurs et une forme conique au niveau de leurs extrémités libres.The teeth 5, 6 have a cylindrical shape over most of their heights and a conical shape at their free ends.
Les dents 5 sont dites "dents d'application" étant donné qu'elles servent essentiellement à l'application du produit sur les cheveux, tandis que les dents 6 sont dites "dents de rétention", étant donné qu'elles servent essentiellement à la rétention du produit dans les espaces 10 délimités entre les rangées de dents 5 et 6.The teeth 5 are called "application teeth" since they are mainly used for applying the product to the hair, while the teeth 6 are called "retention teeth", since they are mainly used for retention of the product in the spaces 10 delimited between the rows of teeth 5 and 6.
Ces espaces 10, ainsi que les espaces entre les dents 5, 6 de chaque rangée, sont tels qu'ils permettent le passage des cheveux entre les dents 5, 6 mais qu'ils permettent de retenir le produit en eux, compte tenu de la viscosité de ce dernier. Les orifices 7 présentent une forme allongée et s'étendent parallèlement aux rangées de dents 5, 6, sur l'ensemble de la longueur de celles-ci.These spaces 10, as well as the spaces between the teeth 5, 6 of each row, are such that they allow the passage of the hair between the teeth 5, 6 but that they make it possible to retain the product in them, taking into account the viscosity of the latter. The orifices 7 have an elongated shape and extend parallel to the rows of teeth 5, 6, over the entire length of these.
L'une des parois 8 fait saillie, sensiblement parallèlement à la direction des dents 5, 6, d'un côté de la tête 3 et est perpendiculaire aux rangées de dents 5, 6, et l'autre paroi 8 fait saillie, sensiblement parallèlement à la direction des dents 5, 6, de l'autre côté de cette tête et est perpendiculaire aux rangées de dents 5, 6.One of the walls 8 protrudes, substantially parallel to the direction of the teeth 5, 6, on one side of the head 3 and is perpendicular to the rows of teeth 5, 6, and the other wall 8 protrudes, substantially parallel to the direction of the teeth 5, 6, on the other side of this head and is perpendicular to the rows of teeth 5, 6.
La tête 3 et les parois 8 définissent ainsi une goulotte relativement allongée et étroite, dans laquelle peut être reçue et peut coulisser, en étant parfaitement contenue, une mèche de cheveux. Le nombre relativement important de rangées de dents 5, 6, permet une parfaite imprégnation de la mèche de cheveux par le produit à appliquer, et ce produit est parfaitement maintenu dans les espaces 10 par ces dents 5, 6 et, aux extrémités de ces espaces, par les parois 8. L'invention fournit ainsi un dispositif permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux, notamment d'un produit colorant, qui s'avère parfaitement adapté à la réalisation d'un traitement de mèches de cheveux.The head 3 and the walls 8 thus define a relatively elongated and narrow chute, in which can be received and can slide, while being perfectly contained, a lock of hair. The relatively large number of rows of teeth 5, 6 allows perfect impregnation of the lock of hair with the product to be applied, and this product is perfectly maintained in the spaces 10 by these teeth 5, 6 and, at the ends of these spaces , by the walls 8. The invention thus provides a device allowing the application of a more or less viscous product, in particular a coloring product, which proves to be perfectly suited for carrying out a treatment of locks of hair. .
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, les formes, dimensions ou espacement de la tête 3, des dents 5, 6, conduits 7 et espaces 10 peuvent varier plus ou moins en fonction de la viscosité du produit à appliquer, pour assurer une rétention et une application optimales de ce dernier ; les bords des parois 8 peuvent faire saillie au-delà des extrémités des dents 5, 6 ou peuvent être situés en deçà de ces extrémités. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it embraces, on the contrary, all the variant embodiments. Thus, the shapes, dimensions or spacing of the head 3, the teeth 5, 6, conduits 7 and spaces 10 can vary more or less depending on the viscosity of the product to be applied, to ensure optimal retention and application of the latter. ; the edges of the walls 8 may protrude beyond the ends of the teeth 5, 6 or may be located below these ends.
