Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair treating implement, and more precisely it relates to a new hair remover or hair dresser which can be advantageously used to cut an unwanted hair or dress the body hair.
  • a conventional cutting tool such as scissors or a razor is used to treat a hair of head or a body hair or to cut an unwanted hair, in particular before a woman wears a hi-leg swim suit.
  • the conventional cutting tool is dangerous because cutting portions are exposed.
  • the tips of the cut hair are sharp due to shearing cutting, so that the sharp tips easily thrust into clothes (e.g. swim suit) which he or she wears to come out or cause him or her to feel pain upon touching.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a hair treating implement which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and which has an electrical heating wire which burns and cuts the hair so as to have a round tip of hair.
  • a hair treating implement comprising an electrical heating wire, a support which tensely supports the heating wire and which is provided with terminals at the opposite ends of the heating wire to supply an electrical power thereto, and a hand grip which is connected to the support.
  • the tips of the hair are rounded, and accordingly, the round tips create a smooth stream of hair and have a natural feeling. Furthermore, in particular, in case of treatment of flagged or split ends of hair of a human head, the round tips of the cut hair can be easily dressed, permed and arranged, so that a desired hair style can last for a long time.
  • Figs. 1A and 1B show a first embodiment of the present invention in which a hair treating implement of the present invention essentially has a comb tooth portion 1 and a hand grip 2 which is connected to one end of the comb tooth portion 1.
  • the comb tooth portion 1 has a pair of first and second comb tooth plates 1a and 1b which are spaced from one another at a distance W (e.g. about 5 mm) and which are symmetrically opposed to each other with respect to a longitudinal center line of the hair treating implement.
  • W e.g. about 5 mm
  • an electrical heating wire 3 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the hair treatment implement in the vicinity of the base portions of the comb teeth.
  • the electrical heating wire 3 is included in an interchangeable heater cassette (cartridge) 30 which is provided between the comb tooth plates 1a and 1b.
  • the hand grip 2 has a hollow portion which defines a battery room 2a in which batteries B are stored.
  • batteries B are stored.
  • two or three SUM-3 batteries B as a power source are received in the battery room 2a of the grip 2 which is closed by a plug cap 4 detachably attached to the open end of the battery room 2a.
  • the grip 2 has thereon a push button switch 5 to start the operation of the hair treatment implement, so that the power supply of the battery B is applied to the heating wire 3.
  • Figs. 2A through 2C and Figs. 3A through 3C show a comb tooth portion 1 in the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows the heater cassette 30 used in the hair treatment implement.
  • the heater cassette 30 has a generally arched substrate 31 which has a shape corresponding to the shape of the spine portion of the comb tooth plates 1a and 1b, first and second electrical conductive terminals 32 and 33 which are provided to project from the inner faces at front and rear end portions of the substrate 31, the above-mentioned electrical heating wire 3 which tensely extends between the terminals 32 and 33, first and second projecting terminals 34 and 35 which project to rearward from the substrate 31, a first conductor (connecting line) 36 for connecting the first conductive terminal 32 and the first projecting terminal 34, a second conductor (connecting line) 37 for connecting the second conductive terminal 33 and the second projecting terminal 35, longitudinally extending elongated guide projections 38a and 38b which are provided on the right and left side faces of the substrate 31, and a front lug 39 which is provided on the front face of the substrate 31.
  • the first conductive terminal 32, the first conductor 36 and the first projecting terminal 34 are made of a single annealed aluminium wire which is properly bent, and similarly, the second conductive terminal 33, the second conductor 37 and the second projecting terminal 35 are made of a single annealed aluminium wire which is properly bent.
  • the first and second conductors 36 and 37 are embedded in the substrate 31 which is molded of heat-resisting resin, such as polycarbonate-delrin (polyacetal resin), together with the elongated guide projections 38a and 38b and the front lug 39.
  • the heating wire 3 is made of nichrome fine wire of about 0.1 ⁇ 0.14 mm ⁇ or may be a sheathed heater.
  • the effective length l of the nichrome wire 3 is 40 ⁇ 50 mm and has a high electrical resistance, so that when a voltage of 3 ⁇ 4.5 V is applied to the opposite ends of the heating wire 3, the wire 3 generates a red heat or is heated without being burnt and broken.
  • first and second power supplying receptacles (suppliers) 51 and 52 are provided on the inner side faces of the spine portions of the right and left comb tooth plates 1a and 1b of the comb tooth portion 1 in which the corresponding left and right guide projections 38a and 38b of the heater cassette 30 can be slidably engaged.

  • the heater cassette 30 is inserted in the space between the comb tooth plates 1a and 1b from the front end side of the comb tooth portion 1 in such a way that the guide projections 38a and 38b of the heater cassette 30 are slid in the associated guide grooves 11a and 11b of the comb tooth portion 1.
  • the first and second projecting terminals 34 and 35 are engaged in the corresponding first and second receptacles 51 and 52 of the hand grip 2, so that the electrical connection is established.
  • the leading end thereof is the end on which the projecting plugs 34 and 35 are provided.
  • the heating wire 3 extends between the left and right comb tooth plates 1a and 1b with a tension to be close to the base portion of the comb teeth, as can be seen from Figs. 1B and 2A.
  • the heating wire 3 when the heating wire 3 is brought into contact with the body hair at a desired length of the hair, while combing the hair by the comb tooth portion 1, if the push button switch 5 is pushed down, the heating wire 3 generates red-heat, so that the body hair with which the heating wire comes into contact is easily burnt and cut.
  • the tip edges of the burnt and cut hair are not sharp but round, unlike the case where the hair is cut by shearing by a cutting tool (scissors etc.), thus resulting in no drawback of prior art mentioned before.
  • the front lug 39 of the heater cassette 30 is grasped with user's fingers to pull the heater cassette out in the opposite direction thereby to disengage the same from the comb tooth portion 1, so that the heater cassette 30 can be exchanged with a new cassette.
  • the interchangeability of the heater cassette or the heating wire has an economical merit.
  • the batteries B received in the hand grip 2 provide an easily operable cordless hair treating implement.
  • the separate battery holder 9 makes the hair treatment implement lighter and more operable. It is possible to directly connect the hair treatment implement to the separate battery holder through the connecting cord without using the receptacle and the plug. It is also possible to connect the hair treating implement to a commercial power source through a voltage reducer by a connecting cord.
  • Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the components corresponding to those in Figs. 1 through 4 are designated with the same numerals as those in Figs. 1 through 4.
  • the heating wire 3 strings between the opposite ends of an archwise body member 10, like a chord of a circle.
  • the plug cap 4 provided on the rear end of the hand grip 2 serves also as a rotary switch to make the hair treating implement ON and OFF.
  • the archwise body member 10 having the heating wire 3 which strings like a chord is detachably attached to the front end of the hand grip 2, so that the archwise body member 10 can be exchanged, for example, in case of a breakage of the heating wire 3.
  • the first and second projecting terminals 34 and 35 of the archwise body member 10 are electrically connected to the first and second supplier recessed terminals 51 and 52 of the hand grip 2.
  • the hair treating implement shown in Fig. 6 can be particularly advantageously used as a hair dressing tool in a barber culture or a beauty culture. Namely, the heating wire 3 is brought into slide-contact with the tips of the dressed hair to burn and cut the same, so that the cut tips are rounded, curled, or frizzled to obtain a desired hair style.
  • the hair treating implement shown in Figs. 1 through 4 can be also used, of course, as a hair dressing tool in a barber culture or a beauty culture.
  • Figs. 7 through 12 show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the hair treating implement essentially includes a comb tooth portion 1 and a hand grip 2 connected to one end of the comb tooth portion 1.

  • the heating wire 3 immediately is heated through the whole length thereof.
  • the power supply circuit 58 is made OFF, so that no current is fed to the heating wire 3 from the batteries B. Consequently, the nichrome wire 3 is no longer heated, and decreases in temperature due to a small heat capacitance thereof.
  • the nichrome wire 3 when the nichrome wire 3 is brought into contact with the body hair to be treated at a desired length thereof, while combing the hair by the comb tooth portion 1, the nichrome wire 3 is heated, so that the hair brought into contact therewith is burnt and cut. Unlike the shearing by a cutting tool, the tips of the hair thus burnt and cut are not sharp but round.
  • nichrome wire 3 is guarded by the comb tooth plates 1a and 1b, there is no danger that a man or women who is treated by the present implement or an operator directly touch the heated wire 3.
  • the nichrome wire 3 which extends between the front and rear projections 37 and 38 of the front and rear base plates 31 and 32 of the heater cassette 30 is slightly elongated due to a thermal linear expansion upon heating.
  • the elongation of the heating wire 3 causes the rear base plate 32 to rotate about the pin 315 with the help of the spring force of the leaf spring 7 in the counterclockwise direction, as shown in Fig. 18, resulting in an increase of the distance between the front and rear projections 37 and 38 to which the heating wire 3 is connected. Consequently, the elongation of the heating wire 3 due to the thermal linear expansion can be absorbed by an increase of the distance of the projections 37 and 38, so that the heating wire 3 is always kept in a tensioned state.
  • the comb tooth plates 1a and 1b can be prevented from being thermally damaged by the heating wire 3 which would be otherwise repeatedly loosened and elongated due to the thermal linear expansion, resulting in a direct contact with or coming very close to the left and right comb tooth plates 1a and 1b.
