Definitions

• the present invention discloses a styling device for forming twisted braids comprising decorative elements. It more particularly discloses an apparatus for individually twisting locks of hair before winding to form a twisted braid with integrated decorative elements. State of the art
• Another technique is to take two, sometimes three, strands of hair and twist individually before reuniting them by winding them with each other to form a braid type "rope".
• the name “braid” is here also passed in the current language but for the sake of clarity we will speak in this case of "twisted braid”.
• This document describes a styling device for twisting individual locks. It comprises a main body and at least two hair gripping devices for gripping wicks able to rotate synchronously. Each of the hair grasping devices is connected to twisters rotating wicks to form twists.
• the device also includes a rotator body that is connected to and rotates with the main body. Rotation of the rotator body brings together the locks and forms a twisted braid.
• the apparatus can operate motorized, but the rotation can also be performed manually.
• the present invention aims to provide a device capable of forming individually twisted rovings before winding them by a global rotational movement around each other.
• the device is more particularly the possibility of integrating decorative elements around each of the individual twists in various locations by bringing the two twisted into a twisted braid.
• the present invention discloses a styling device for twisting strands of hair and producing a twisted braid comprising decorative elements, the device comprising:
• a rotator mounted on said handle for effecting a rotational movement with respect to said handle
• At least two torsadeurs arranged on said rotator to perform a rotational movement for individually twisting said locks of hair, said tweezers having gripping means for gripping, in use, one or more locks of hair;
• an electric motor whose direction of rotation is reversible, driving a motor shaft coupled to each of the twists and making it possible to turn them in a first direction so as to twist said locks of hair individually and thus form two twists of locks of separated hair and twisted in the same direction, and then drive the motor shaft in a second direction to rotate the rotator in a second direction opposite to the first, thus combining the two twisted locks in a single twisted braid
• the rotator comprises locations (8) located around the torsadeurs (4), said torsadeurs having a geometry cooperating with the inner contour of said decorative elements (9), and allowing, in use, the fixing and storage of said decorative elements (9) removably , so that they can be threaded around at least one of the individually twisted strands at different format levels ion of the twisted braid.
• the preferred embodiments of the invention comprise at least one, or any suitable combination, of the following characteristics: -
• the gripping means is a hook or a loop that can be positioned by means of a spring between a release position and a gripping position of the wick;
• the hook or the loop are retractable inside the torsadeurs
• the styling device further comprises a clutch disposed within the rotator and arranged in such a way as to prevent the rotation of said rotator when the torsadeurs turn to twist the locks of hair and it allows to block the torsadeurs when the rotator rotates to assemble the strands twisted beforehand by the torsadeurs.
• the present invention also discloses a kit comprising the styling device according to the invention accompanied by these decorative elements.
• Figures 1a and 1b show the styling device according to the present invention.
• Figure 1a gives an overview of the mechanical elements allowing the operation of the apparatus.
• FIGS 2a-2e show the operation of the device according to the present invention.
• Figure 3 shows a series of decorative elements in the form of closed or partially open rings.
• Figure 4 shows the result obtained on one or more locks of hair using the device of the present invention.
• Figure 5 shows the detail of one of the locations around the twisters which have a geometry for fixing said decorative elements and for storing these elements over a certain thickness.
• the geometry of the torsade cooperates with the inner contour of the decorative rings allowing a removable attachment and a storage of a few rings.
• the styling device of the present invention can individually twist hair braids before winding them into a twisted braid on which the user sets various decorative elements, such as rings of different shapes, textures and colors in various positions at different levels of winding torsades.
• the device has a handle 2 surmounted by a rotator 3 to perform a rotational movement relative to said handle 2.
• a rotator 3 to perform a rotational movement relative to said handle 2.
• two twisters 4 to perform a rotational movement to individually twist the locks of hair.
• Twists 4 have means for gripping the locks 5 to fix one or more locks of hair.
• These gripping means generally comprise a hook or loop that can be positioned by means of a spring 10 between a release position and a gripping position of the wick.
• This fixing mechanism is mounted on a base 1 1 in a retractable manner inside the torsadeurs 4.
• the apparatus is equipped with an electric motor 6 whose direction of rotation is reversible.
• the motor 6 drives a motor shaft 7 coupled to each of the twisters 4, which makes it possible to turn them in a first direction in order to twist said locks of hair individually and thus to form two twisted strands of hair separated and twisted into the same meaning.
• the twisters 4 comprise gripping means 5.
• the geometry of these twisters is chosen so as to cooperate with the decorative elements 9 in order to fix them at the base of said twisters 4 while making them easily detachable.
• the base of the twisters 4 is generally angular, for example square or rectangular, and can accommodate several decorative elements whose inner contour is adapted to its geometric shape which allows to stack many of these decorative elements at the base of each of twisters 4.
• the decorative elements stacked around the base of the twisters 4 can be strung around the individually twisted strands at different heights of formation of the twisted braid when gathering the two strands twisted to form a twisted braid with integrated decorative elements 9.
• the hairdressing device of the present invention accompanied by its decorative elements 9 whose geometry is adapted to the twisters 4 form a kit.
