Definitions

• Self-adhesive flexible element and wig provided with such an element.
• the present invention relates to a flexible and self-adhesive element applicable to wigs in order to contribute to their maintenance in the desirable position on the head of the users, the invention applying, in this case, to all types of false hair, whatever their destination (wigs, hairpieces, hair supplements), or even other types of hairstyles.
• the invention also relates to wigs provided with such flexible non-slip or anti-slip elements.
• false hair, wigs and the like comprise an internal support, most often constituted by a net of a particular type, on which natural or artificial hair is fixed, the internal support being provided with means for fixing the wig on a user's head.
• These fixing means are very diverse in nature.
• the wigs include a cap composed of bands of elastic fabric on which are sewn the "wefts” or “wefts” supporting the hair, so as to form a cap.
• These elastic bands are similar to those which are commonly used in lingerie (bra straps or the like); they can be more or less thick, more or less wide, or even more or less elastic (different elongation).
• a wig should, in theory, meet the following requirements:
• WO-99/44452 a wig whose internal support or cap is provided internally with flexible non-slip parts fixed on its internal face and constituted by a stretchable fabric impregnated with a substance forming a thin stretch film on at least its face intended to come into contact with the skin of the skull of a user, this thin stretch film having a non-slip non-sticky or non-sticky surface at temperatures below its softening temperature for example at room temperature, after impregnating said fabric and drying.
• the thin film of adhesive substance permeating the stretch fabric and covering at least one of the faces of said fabric consists of a mixture of two glues selected from the class of polyurethanes.
• the invention aims to provide such a material, more particularly suitable for making wigs. It also relates to wigs using this material.
• a wig the internal support or cap of which is made, at least in part, of flexible pieces adhering to the skin of a person and constituted by a flexible fabric of which at least one face is coated with a thin layer or film of polysiloxane oriented so as to come into contact with the wearer's skin when using said wig.
• the invention consists of a flexible and self-adhesive element composed of a flexible fabric of which at least one face is coated with a thin layer or film of polysiloxane intended to come into contact with the skin of the wearers of the made-up articles. using such a flexible element.
• the flexible and self-adhesive element allows the direct implantation of natural or artificial hair! 0 on said element;
• the polysiloxane film has qualities of adhesion whose effect is accentuated after a fairly short time, in contact with the skin;
• the elastic properties of the flexible element are preserved over time and are not influenced by frequent washing.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the flexible and self-adhesive element according to the invention
• FIG. 2 is a perspective view and schematic of the underside of a wig provided with such flexible and self-adhesive elements.
• the flexible and self-adhesive element 1 consists of a flexible fabric 2 of which at least one face is coated with a thin layer or film of polysiloxane 3 applied by a coating process known per se, on said support fabric.
• the thin layer or film 3 is constituted by a single-component polysiloxane and / or, for example, by a solvent-free polysiloxane.
• the support fabric 2 is advantageously constituted by an elastic fabric, preferably stretchable in several directions. It can be a warp and weft fabric, a mesh fabric or a nonwoven, so that said fabric 2 and its polysiloxane coating 3 also have two-dimensional elastic properties.
• the weight of the layer or film of polysiloxane 3 deposited on the fabric is between 100 and 300 g / m2.
• the wig 4 according to the invention is remarkable in that the internal surface 5 of its cap consists, at least in part, of flexible and self-adhesive parts 1 described above, the internal face of which consists of the layer or film of polysiloxane. 3 is oriented so as to be applied to the skin of the skull of the user, when the latter is wearing said wig.
• the wig comprises a cap or cap composed of bands of elastic fabric on which are sewn or otherwise attached, the "wefts” or “wefts” supporting the hair, at least some of these bands are constituted by flexible and self-adhesive elements 1, 2, 3 previously described on which the hair 6, natural or artificial, is fixed.
• all the elastic bands on which the "wefts” or “wefts” supporting the hair 6 are sewn are constituted by flexible and self-adhesive parts 1 previously described.
• This arrangement makes it possible to strengthen the seat of the wig and to improve its hold on the head, thanks to the fact that the film or non-slip layer 3 covers a larger contact area and is therefore applied to a larger surface, from the forehead to the wearer's neck. Many points are reinforced and allow a very reliable adhesion on the skin or the hair of the user.
• the hair 6, natural or artificial is directly implanted, in the flexible and self-adhesive strips 1-2-3, via their lower end.
