Definitions
- This invention is generally referred to the field of hair or similar applications to solve, for example, baldness problems and is specifically based on an adhesive for the application of hair or similar and on the related manufacturing process.
- the base can be of various nature: it can be made for example of tissue or plastic. To fix this base to the skin or to the scalp, it is necessary to use an adhesive that can have different shapes but that, anyway, since it is directly in touch with the skin, should not cause allergy, be transpiring and has to allow hair growth.
- This kind of sticker is for example disclosed in FR 2,295,708 and a related manufacturing process is disclosed in DE 3126605.
- the adhesive can be provided in a quantity to be directly spread on the skin and/or on the inner part of the base or as bi-adhesive tape.
- Another problem related to these applications is the care and labour to manufacture these bases on which there are uniformly inserted hairs.
- the technical problem at the root of the present invention is to provide a sticker for hair application that exceeds all the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art.
- a sticker for the application of hair comprising an adhesive laminar support made of adhesive material, antiallergenic and transpirable, which comprises a first side wherein a plurality of hairs has been run into and a second side apt to be directly stuck to the skin and a support plane attached to said second side.
- the support plane is a removable film adhered to the second side to be removed before application, for example a silicone paper as the one used to protect self-sticking labels.
- the main advantage of the sticker according to the present invention is that hair directly sticks to the skin without the above-mentioned base.
- the present invention is also referred to a manufacturing process for the above defined sticker, comprising the steps of:
- the advantage of the manufacturing process according to the invention is the elimination of the manual application of hair on a support.
- a laminar support 1 made of adhesive material is provided on a support plane which is made in particular of a removable film 2, for example obtained in silicone-based paper of the kind used to protect self-sticking labels or in an equivalent material.
- the adhesive material doesn't cause allergy and is transpirable.
- the laminar support 1 and the removable film 2 are then treated according to a process of flocking called as velveting process, carried out with a flocking apparatus 3 which is schematically depicted in figures 1 and 2.
- the film 2 is put on a first electrostatic plate 4 to which can be given, according to techniques known in the art and not disclosed herein, an electric charge, in particular a negative charge.
- a closed space surrounded by a case 5 wherein a quantity of hairs 6 is let in, preferably but not exclusively natural hairs 6, having lengths necessarily non fixed but not too different than an average length from a few millimetres to a few centimetres.
- the hairs have two ends and one of these ends will be run into the adhesive laminar support under process.
- the hairs are kept on excitation and suspension for example through an air flow.
- the case 5 has a further and second electrostatic plate 7 that, together with the previous mentioned one, generates an electrostatic field at the laminar support 1, thereby positioning said hair ends against the laminar support 1 and causing them to run into the laminar support 1.
- said hairs are electrostatically charged and thrown down the laminar support 1.
- the electrostatic field and the charge of the hairs allow them to be on a vertical position so that one end thereof is run into the laminar support 1.
- the hairs can be combed and carded (fig. 2) in order to confer to the hairs a fixed orientation and to eliminate all the excessive and non perfectly inserted hairs.
- a further preferred embodiment refers to a calendering, preferably a hot-calendering, to confer to the hairs a modelled orientation, partings and so on.
- the sticker 10 is substantially ready to be used.
- the so treated laminar support 1 shows a first side 11, through which the hairs have been ran into, and a second side 13 that can be stuck onto the skin.
- the laminar support 1 and the removable film 2 can be a rectangular sheet or a roll.
- the above-mentioned apparatus may work continuously according to techniques well known to the man skilled in the art.
- stickers will preferably be small sized stickers to prevent waves during adhesion. They can have every shape through cutting or punching of the laminar support and the removable film.
- They can have striped, arched, semicircle, circle, oval and elliptic shapes. They can be simply and directly stuck to skin, by simply taking off the removable film and adhering the opened side of the laminar support to the skin.
- All the shapes can be pre-formed but also they can be formed at the moment, cutting the adhesive sheet according the invention following a preferred shape (figure 7).
- the laminar support 1 has a small thickness, for example from 0,02 mm to 1,00 mm but preferably between 0,05 mm and 0,50 mm.
- the application techniques for applying the adhesive material to the removable film can be for example offset printing technique and silk-screen process.
- the adhesive can be a water based acrylic material.
- the adhesive material can be mixed with air dispersed in small bubbles.
- the small bubbles or part of them explode causing many craters 15 and a discontinuous positioning of the adhesive material on the laminar support 1.
- This arrangement increases the transpiration of the adhesive and its capacity of growth of hair through its thickness.
- the laminar support is stuck to defined parts 16 of the removable film 2 so that the shape of the adhesive is not determined by cutting but it is pre-formed before hair application.
- tapering it is meant a reduction of adhesive quantity at the borders because the silk-screen process releases on the surface a fair quantity and which can be varied of printed adhesive in the shape of small drops.
- the tapering 17 can be applied only on curved borders that's to say to the borders really placed on the limits of hair.
- the above described adhesive can be obtained in single sheets or rolls.
- the single parts or groups of parts can be packed and covered by a wrapping or by an envelope that protects the surface of laminar support with hairs.
- a first electrostatic plate 20 is provided with hair locks 21 having the same length, connected to the plate at a lock end which, for example, can be inserted in recesses 22 regularly distributed on the surface of the plate 20.
- the generated electrostatic field can direct these distal ends against a laminar support 1, for example facing to said electrostatic plate, with the surface thereof, freed by the removable film side 2, so that the hairs are run into the laminar support 1 itself.
- This method can be applied to every kind of the above-mentioned stickers: with a uniform and continuous placing of laminar support or with a placing by portions, in every embodiment.
- the described method allows to apply hair of different lengths, for example it is possible to put shorter hair at the borders of the sticker parts.
- the sticker can be manufactured through a manufacturing process non implying an electrostatic system. Hair can be put on the right position, run into the laminar support, through a mechanical process with particular combs or through a manual process (fig. 6).
- the laminar support is provided on a removable film in turn placed on a fixed surface plate.
- the length of hair run into the laminar support can be adjusted before or after their application.
- stickers As for the application of the above described stickers, they can be provided in small parts to be put side by side on the skin of the user, realizing a sort of mosaic; their application is therefore quick and easy and it is not necessary to use further substances or tools.
- the ends of the hairs run into the laminar support are put substantially in contact with the skin itself, to which is only added the minimum thickness of the laminar support itself.
- the adhesive Since the adhesive is thin, light and transpirable, it doesn't cause sensations of inconvenience, too much weight or itch.
- the advantage is that the sticker of the laminar support is transparent or almost transparent so that it can have the colour of the skin.
- the above-mentioned sticker has also a lasting application but it can be removed and easily changed by simply peeling the adhesive from the skin.
