Description

HAIRDRESSING DEVICE

Technical sector

The present invention is framed in the hairdressing sector, especially in those destined to carry out different hair styles.

Background of the invention

Different innovations are known to improve the tools for making hair curls and all kinds of styling that, if done manually, involve laborious work and great skills on the part of the hairdresser. In this way, as described, the state of the art includes inventions that include different tools and accessories thereof that allow the realization of a permanent curling on the hair by means of tweezers with a pressure element, a sample of this Typology can be seen in the patent document with publication number US4732169A of the applicant Jean Van Sickle that has means to curl the hair by means of a rod of a predetermined length where the hair is wound to generate the curl, this type of solution only allows make curls in the hair of greater or lesser size, but do not practice styles in which more elaborate techniques need to be applied, without having to be a professional for its use, although this invention is more limited to make creative hairstyles.

Another typology of solutions mainly affects curlers where it is possible to make different types of wave in the same lock of hair thanks to the combination of different devices or by adding accessories to a main device, an example of this is collected in the document with publication number US 6401725B1 of the applicant Albert Beal, this device solves the problem of achieving several types of wave in the same strand but does not allow the creation and modeling of original shapes such as those derived from the proposed invention. Finally, the utility model ES1020629U of the applicant Laboratorios P & M.SCP consists of a hair shaper that allows various types of waving through a base that has different notches on the sides of the same where the strands of hair fit in the shape of spiral or zigzag allowing various varieties of molding to be carried out. This solution, despite allowing a greater number of varieties of molding compared to conventional means, continues to be limited since molding must be limited to the possibilities allowed by the base and the notches it presents where the strands of hair are retained.

The technical problem apparently solved by the aforementioned typologies do not provide a solution when it comes to making unconventional styles since the devices themselves limit the final shape that the hair shaping will have because it is designed for specific shapes, these tools being used for the hairdressers and so that users can perform these simpler hairstyles without having to put themselves in the hands of professionals. However, the recommended solution is aimed at offering the possibility of more sophisticated styles, simplifying the work of hairdressing professionals, allowing them to execute their techniques more quickly and precisely. Therefore, the applicant does not know of solutions such as the one advocated in the present invention that offer means to carry out unconventional styles with the help of a device, especially the invention allows to practice several techniques or styles with a single accessory, reducing the time of performing the hairstyles On the other hand, it facilitates the fine motor tasks necessary to achieve the detail of certain hairstyles, making it possible to use them by reducing the complexity of the execution of these tasks.

Object of the invention

Obtain a device that allows hairdressers to carry out complex styling tasks related to hair shaping and the application of products, minimizing the complexity of their technique and the duration of their elaboration. The device must be simple, and allow these techniques without the use of tools not common in the sector.

Description of the invention

The hairdressing device object of this report comprises a structure that allows it to be fixed to the user on whom the hairdressing work is to be carried out, generating a stable and light work surface, this device thus has a main face of a nature close to a rectangle that constitutes a main work area from which another portion of material of similar size that we will call complementary work surface extends from one of its sides of smaller dimension, which is allowed to fold behind the first one, from the longer sides of the surface First, two others leave as wings that form an angle with respect to the lower face of the latter of less than 90 °. The sides of the wings and the work surface in contact with the user have recesses in order to facilitate the positioning of the device under safety and ergonomic criteria. These notches and the design of the wings allow the professional to position the device at a suitable angle to work, the device has a hair-holding element in the form of a clamp that is inserted into the work surface, centered and close. to the hair. The hair is introduced and adapted along the clip, after this the clip is closed retaining the hair to the device, the interior of the clip is conveniently arranged so as not to damage the hair, being able to present different discontinuities that facilitate the separation into strands of all the introduced hair.

To guide the different strands of hair that generate the styling that the professional has determined, the device has means for fixing movable retention elements of a cylindrical nature on the work surface in a perpendicular arrangement to it, in this way the different strands are guided between these retention elements forming different figures; the work done on the hair is fixed through conventional means such as hairspray.

Versions have been provided in which the mobile retention elements are made in the manner of small cylindrical rods that cooperate with a plurality of perforations arranged in a grid-like pattern made in the described work surface, or others in which the retention element is magnetically fixed to the work surface, presenting at one of its ends a perpendicular and concentric disk for this purpose, the magnetic attraction between the work surface and the retaining element may be indistinctly formed by the magnet-magnet pair or magnet-ferro-magnetic element. To facilitate the handling of the hair, the work surfaces have at least one slit perpendicular to the sides of the greatest dimension through which the insertion of a hairdressing pick is facilitated, allowing the lock to be lifted with a conventional hairdressing instrument. The device can be made of a single piece of rigid material such as plastic, wood or different metals, or it can also be made of cardboard, the latter materialization being due to its low cost and recycling capacity; In the latter case, the device starts from a die-cut flat surface that has grooves that delimit the work area while allowing the folding or tearing of the wings described and of the complementary surface that starts from the shorter side of the surface of work described above, in addition to containing the elements referenced above to fulfill its function.

The technical solution offered by this invention allows its use for other hairdressing techniques such as tinting, generating color effects that cannot be achieved if you do not have a flat work area of these characteristics, it has waterproof sheets that can be placed on the work surfaces and means to retain these as a sheet that surrounds the hair-holding element and that fits tightly to it, the sheets are placed between this sheet and the work surface and are retained by this pressure Versions have been provided in which the blades have an opening of a dimension slightly greater than the hair retaining element to be inserted into this body and held with the described clamping sheet.
