Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hair styling or shaping apparatus comprising a handle connected to a support part and a heating part between which a lock of hair can be inserted, more particularly an appliance comprising a device provided for exerting pressure. on the lock of hair to be treated.
- Most hair shaping apparatus such as hair straighteners, curling irons, embossing, comprise a handle supporting two mechanical elements of which at least one is heated, the other being intended to bring the hair in contact with the first, in particular by moving from an open position allowing the insertion of the hair to a closed position for their contact with the heating part.
- the passage from the open position to the closing position is done manually by pressing a lever for opening a tongue of pressure of the hair or by pressing two articulated arms of the apparatus towards each other to bring the heating part in contact with the hair.
- a solution has been proposed in the document JP2005-087629 which describes a smoothing iron having two articulated arms, intended to move from the open state to the closed state and vice versa, each arm comprising an electric heating element mounted in thermal contact with a smoothing plate.
- the apparatus also comprises two magnetic locks each composed of a magnet and a metal part attracted by the magnet vis-à-vis to hold the device in the closed position after the introduction of a lock of hair between the smoothing plates.
- An unlocking device is provided elsewhere to remove the plates at the end of treatment and to introduce a new wick to treat.
- the problem with this apparatus is that, by pivoting its arms about an axis of rotation away from the treatment portion, it does not provide a uniform contact pressure on the hair.
- its opening requires an additional opening device, which complicates the construction of the device and makes handling less easy.
- the documents US4479047 and FR2600509 describe hair shaping apparatus introduced between a heating portion and a bearing portion, the apparatus being closed at rest.
- these devices use opening control devices which are not only complex, but which involve additional manipulation of the control device. More particularly in the document apparatus FR2600509 it is necessary first to move longitudinally sliding a spring-mounted ring in order to release the pivoting branches transversely to open a hair insertion gap between the treatment portions.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a hair styling device capable of achieving good hair shaping, uniform and durable, while being fast and easy to use in operation.
- Another object of the invention is an effective hairdressing apparatus while being able to reduce the treatment time of the hair.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hairstyling device of reduced size, adapted to adapt to the thickness of the wick to be treated, while being reliable in operation and easy to handle.
- Another object of the invention is a hairdressing appliance which is efficient, of simplified structure, compact and can be industrialized for a low cost.
- a hairdressing apparatus comprising at least one heating part coming into contact with the hair by means of a bearing part facing each other, at least one of the parts being mounted floating using suspension means, that the parts are held together in a fixed frame by being pushed towards each other at rest and that the apparatus comprises means for automatically introducing the hair between the heating part and the support part.
- Such a hairdressing apparatus already makes it possible to heat-treat the hair present between a heating part and a bearing part (these parts forming the means for shaping the hair), the bearing part bringing them into contact with the heating part to obtain their shaping.
- Each heating and support portion is mounted on one of the arms or jaws of the housing of the apparatus, the apparatus generally comprising two arms, or, alternatively, it may comprise several heating parts cooperating with a part of support, for example of the three-armed clamp type.
- At least the heating part or the support part are mounted floating relative to the respective arm or jaw of the housing of the apparatus in order to be able to deviate more from at least one of the other and to adapt to different thicknesses hair strand and / or variations in thickness of a wick, and this over the entire useful length of the treatment parts.
- floating assembly of a portion relative to its housing arm or with respect to a processing part vis-à-vis it includes a mounting with play and possibility of displacement, under the thrust of return means (for example elastic, magnetic, etc.) when the part is subjected to a force, in a direction opposite to that on which the effort is exerted. In this case, the force being exerted by the lock of hair, the treatment parts will move apart to compensate for the thickness of the bit introduced.
- Such a floating assembly leaves one or more degrees of freedom to the support portion, the heating portion or both, when both are floating.
- the heating and support portions are held together in a fixed frame in the closed position at rest, the apparatus comprising means for automatically introducing the hair between these treatment parts.
- the floating mounted portion is pushed by the force of the suspension means towards the portion facing each other, the facing parts being mounted so that they touch each other at their bearing surfaces. contact with the hair, even with a slight clearance (of about 1 mm) at these surfaces of contact with the hair, even in the absence of hair.
- automatic introduction of the hair between the treatment parts comprises a flared groove at the front end of the treatment parts by which one can introduce a lock of hair by guiding it with one hand so that the The thickness of the wick spreads the treatment parts facing each other.
- the user easily inserts the hair inside the apparatus, by directing them by means of the automatic introduction means between the treatment parts, one of the treatment parts or the two deviating then to let in the lock of hair, while keeping it in contact with the treatment part vis-à-vis.
- the introduction of the hair into the device is therefore done naturally, the parts of treatment deviate by adapting to the thickness of the wick and the treatment is carried out without the user having to exert the slightest effort of pressure on the treatment parts or their supports, the latter simply having to slide naturally the device along the seized wick, from the root and to the tip of the hair.
- Such a device is easy to use and intuitive, it allows to perform a treatment without effort, with more freedom for the person using it no longer having to press to maintain pressure on the hair, and, at the same time, it is able to absorb the variability in thickness of the lock of hair introduced inside the floating shaping means and to transmit fully calories to the lock of hair to be treated, regardless of its variable thickness.
- Such a device therefore exerts a continuous and constant pressure on a lock of hair, regardless of the person using it. The result is a faster hair shaping (there is no need to return to the untreated parts correctly during the first pass), uniform in appearance and durable over time.
- said frame comprises at least two substantially parallel arms connected together at one of their ends, the heating portion and / or that of support being mounted floating in translation in a direction transverse to that of the longitudinal axis of the frame .
- Such a U-shaped frame configuration already allows easy introduction of the hair with the open part of the U, while supporting the shaping parts each on one of the parallel branches of the U, being connected together at their base , all in a small footprint and for a frame with good rigidity.
- This frame can also support the housing that comes dressed externally or it can be at the same time the housing of the device.
- this frame may have a plurality of parallel arms, for example three or four, to thereby constitute several heating or support surfaces, which may for example be intended for the simultaneous treatment of several wicks.
- the means for introducing the hair are formed in the extension of the heating portion and / or the support portion.
- introduction means can then be made in the form of an insertion surface of the hair flaring outwardly in a circular arc, chamfered or chamfered, preferably an arcuate or rounded chamfer, or even from a portion of cylinder and having substantially the same width as the processing surface with which it cooperates.
- said frame is connected to a handle having a longitudinal axis and the means for introducing the hair are arranged at the opposite end of the handle, on either side of its longitudinal axis.
- This elongated device configuration with a handle in the extension of the support frame of the treatment parts is more ergonomic and allows easy handling of the device.
- the arrangement of the means for introducing the hair symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus allows an even easier, almost automatic insertion of the hair inside the treatment parts, the hair can thus be seized closer to their roots.
- This arrangement is more particularly suitable for the embodiment variant wherein the heating portion and the support portion are mounted floating relative to the fixed frame.
- said suspension means are related to the force of a magnetic field.
- the support portion comprises at least one permanent magnet and the heating portion is made at least partly of a magnetic material.
- the heating part is mounted with clearance and possibility of displacement in the direction of the support plate to adapt to the thickness of the wick introduced between the two.
- the heating portion may be provided with magnets and the support portion be made of a magnetic material and mounted with the possibility of displacement relative to the first.
- magnetic material is understood a material which can be attracted by a magnet, comparable to iron or ferromagnetic type, for example a ferrous alloy, nickel-based or cobalt-based.
- a hairdressing apparatus made according to this mode has a simplified structure and is a very economical embodiment, one or other of the parts, or both can be mounted with the possibility of displacement.
- the support portion comprises at least a first permanent magnet cooperating with a second permanent magnet vis-à-vis the heating portion mounted in phase opposition with the first.
- the heating part is mounted with play in its housing provided inside its housing and moves towards the support part when the distance between the Magnets facing each other allows the magnetic field to exert its force, although in a variant the other part could be mounted with play, or each of the parts could be mounted floating relative to its housing.
- the use of magnets vis-à-vis allows to exert significant efforts on the hair, the value of the effort can also be adjusted by adjusting the spacing between the magnets.
- Such a magnet construction vis-à-vis in phase opposition (it is understood that the opposite poles face each other) makes it possible to create a magnetic field by attraction between the shaping means, which makes it possible to bring into contact and / or to maintain the shaping means against each other.
- the support part or the heating part comprise a first permanent magnet cooperating with a second permanent magnet vis-à-vis belonging to the frame, the second permanent magnet being mounted in phase with the first.
- the part comprising the magnets is floated by the magnets in phase of the housing frame.
- the magnetic field closes inside the housing of the apparatus, without influencing the treatment zone coming into contact with the hair.
- the magnets thus arranged are away from the treatment surfaces, so less subject to temperature, which improves their service life.
- said suspension means are elastic means.
- This construction has the advantage of being more economical, the elastic means being helicoidal springs, sheet, torsion, etc., parts of a deformable material, for example rubber pads, etc.
- said suspension means are arranged substantially at each end of the support portion or the heating portion.
- the support portion is heated.
- the support portion or the heating portion has a hair treatment surface of flat or corrugated shape.
- Such an apparatus is more particularly intended for smoothing the hair, the hair then being able to be smoothed between a flat treatment surface and a left surface or a slice of the support surface or between two flat treatment surfaces, that of the heating part. and that of the bearing surface.
- one of the treatment surfaces is corrugated and cooperates with a treatment surface facing one another having a complementary shape so as to constrain the hair during the passage between these two treatment surfaces.
- means for guiding the heating part or the support part are arranged in a median plane perpendicular to the plane of the hair treatment surface or on either side of this plane.
- Such guiding means may be means in translation or in rotation and, when they are arranged in a median plane of the treatment surface or on either side of this median plane, they ensure the application of a uniform effort on the entire treatment surface and, therefore, the hair to be treated.
- the heating portion has a hair treatment surface having a shape of revolution and the bearing portion has a treatment plate conforming to the shape of the heating portion.
- Such a form of revolution may be a cylinder or a cone, the treatment surface then making it possible to make loops by winding the hair around the axis of the treatment surface, while keeping them against this surface by the surface of support.
- the heating portion is in contact with two complementary shaped support portions located on either side of its longitudinal axis.
- the apparatus comprises radial guide means of the support portion.
- the support portion being mounted floating, its radial guide relative to the heating portion cylindrical or conical vis-à-vis allows the application of a uniform pressure on the wick to be treated and, therefore, a better contact with the heating surface of winding hair, over the entire length of the latter.
- This radial guide may be a guide in rotation or in translation.
- the apparatus comprises control means for sending steam at least one of the heating or support portions.
- the apparatus therefore comprises means for controlling the arrival of steam at the level of the hair lying between the parts: heating and support.
- a fixed or closed frame apparatus can advantageously be used to control the production of steam then sent to the hair to perform their shaping with the aid of steam, this thanks to the fact that no longer having to exercise pressing the arms of the housing to keep in contact the treatment parts, the user can then easily operate a control button to send steam towards the hair.
- control means act on steam generating means of the apparatus comprising a water reservoir connected by a conduit to a vaporization chamber opening through steam outlet openings at the surface of treatment of the heating part.
- the steam production means could have been external to the device and connected to the latter by a flexible conduit, it is however preferred, for more compactness integrate them to the device and control the handle.
- the apparatus of the invention comprises means for adjusting the force of the suspension means.
- the adjustment means may be mechanical means, for example using a set screw or cams which move the magnet within its housing, or which compress the elastic means, and thus allowing the distance between the treatment parts to be varied. in vis-à-vis. In one of their limit positions, the adjustment means may constitute disengaging means ensuring the opening of the plates normally in contact.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil de coiffure ou de mise en forme des cheveux comportant une poignée reliée à une partie de support et une partie chauffante entre lesquelles peut être insérée une mèche de cheveux, plus particulièrement un appareil comportant un dispositif prévu pour exercer une pression sur la mèche de cheveux à traiter.The present invention relates to a hair styling or shaping apparatus comprising a handle connected to a support part and a heating part between which a lock of hair can be inserted, more particularly an appliance comprising a device provided for exerting pressure. on the lock of hair to be treated.
La plupart des appareils de mise en forme des cheveux, tels par exemple les lisseurs, les fers à friser, à gaufrer, comportent une poignée supportant deux éléments mécaniques dont au moins un est chauffé, l'autre étant prévu pour amener les cheveux en contact avec le premier, notamment en passant d'une position d'ouverture permettant l'insertion des cheveux à une position de fermeture pour leur mise en contact avec la partie chauffante. Le passage de la position d'ouverture à celle de fermeture se fait manuellement en pressant un levier d'ouverture d'une languette de pression des cheveux ou en pressant deux bras articulés de l'appareil l'un vers l'autre pour amener la partie chauffante au contact des cheveux. Le problème posé par ces appareils est qu'ils demandent à l'utilisatrice d'exercer un effort pour passer de l'état ouvert à l'état fermé de l'appareil ou vice versa afin de mettre en contact les cheveux avec les moyens de mise en forme, l'effort étant d'autant plus important lorsqu'il doit être exercé en continu pour maintenir l'appareil fermé pendant toute la durée du traitement.Most hair shaping apparatus, such as hair straighteners, curling irons, embossing, comprise a handle supporting two mechanical elements of which at least one is heated, the other being intended to bring the hair in contact with the first, in particular by moving from an open position allowing the insertion of the hair to a closed position for their contact with the heating part. The passage from the open position to the closing position is done manually by pressing a lever for opening a tongue of pressure of the hair or by pressing two articulated arms of the apparatus towards each other to bring the heating part in contact with the hair. The problem posed by these devices is that they ask the user to exert an effort to move from the open state to the closed state of the device or vice versa to bring the hair into contact with the means of shaping, the effort is even more important when it must be exercised continuously to keep the closed device for the duration of treatment.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de proposer un appareil de coiffure apte à réaliser une bonne mise en forme des cheveux, uniforme et durable, tout en étant d'une utilisation rapide et aisée en fonctionnement.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a hair styling device capable of achieving good hair shaping, uniform and durable, while being fast and easy to use in operation.
Un autre but de l'invention est un appareil de coiffure efficace tout en étant apte à réduire le temps de traitement des cheveux.Another object of the invention is an effective hairdressing apparatus while being able to reduce the treatment time of the hair.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure d'encombrement réduit, apte à s'adapter à l'épaisseur de la mèche à traiter, tout en étant fiable en fonctionnement et facile à manipuler.Another object of the invention is to provide a hairstyling device of reduced size, adapted to adapt to the thickness of the wick to be treated, while being reliable in operation and easy to handle.
Un autre but de l'invention est un appareil de coiffure qui soit efficace, de structure simplifiée, compact et pouvant être industrialisé pour un faible coût.Another object of the invention is a hairdressing appliance which is efficient, of simplified structure, compact and can be industrialized for a low cost.
Ces buts sont atteints avec un appareil de coiffure comportant au moins une partie chauffante venant au contact des cheveux moyennant une partie d'appui en vis-à-vis, au moins l'une des parties étant montée flottante en utilisant des moyens de suspension, du fait que les parties sont maintenues ensemble dans un cadre fixe en étant poussées l'une vers l'autre au repos et que l'appareil comporte des moyens d'introduction automatique des cheveux entre la partie chauffante et la partie d'appui.These objects are achieved with a hairdressing apparatus comprising at least one heating part coming into contact with the hair by means of a bearing part facing each other, at least one of the parts being mounted floating using suspension means, that the parts are held together in a fixed frame by being pushed towards each other at rest and that the apparatus comprises means for automatically introducing the hair between the heating part and the support part.
Un tel appareil de coiffure permet déjà de traiter par la chaleur les cheveux présents entre une partie chauffante et une partie d'appui (ces parties formant les moyens de mise en forme des cheveux), la partie d'appui les amenant au contact de la partie chauffante pour obtenir ainsi leur mise en forme. Chaque partie, chauffante et d'appui est montée sur l'un des bras ou mâchoire du boîtier de l'appareil, l'appareil comportant généralement deux bras, ou, dans une variante, il peut comporter plusieurs parties chauffantes coopérant avec une partie d'appui, par exemple du type pince à trois bras. Au moins la partie chauffante ou la partie d'appui sont montées flottantes par rapport au bras respectif ou mâchoire du boîtier de l'appareil afin de pouvoir s'écarter plus au moins l'une de l'autre et s'adapter à différentes épaisseurs de mèche de cheveux et/ou à des variations d'épaisseur d'une mèche, et ceci sur toute la longueur utile des parties de traitement. Par montage flottant d'une partie par rapport à son bras de boîtier ou par rapport à une partie de traitement en vis-à-vis, on comprend un montage avec jeu et possibilité de déplacement, sous la poussée de moyens de rappel (par exemple élastiques, magnétiques, etc.) lorsque la partie est soumise à un effort, selon une direction opposée à celle sur laquelle est exercé l'effort. En l'occurrence, l'effort étant exercé par la mèche de cheveux, les parties de traitement vont se déplacer en s'écartant pour compenser l'épaisseur de la mèche introduite. Un tel montage flottant laisse un ou plusieurs degrés de liberté à la partie d'appui, à la partie chauffante ou aux deux, lorsque les deux sont flottantes.Such a hairdressing apparatus already makes it possible to heat-treat the hair present between a heating part and a bearing part (these parts forming the means for shaping the hair), the bearing part bringing them into contact with the heating part to obtain their shaping. Each heating and support portion is mounted on one of the arms or jaws of the housing of the apparatus, the apparatus generally comprising two arms, or, alternatively, it may comprise several heating parts cooperating with a part of support, for example of the three-armed clamp type. At least the heating part or the support part are mounted floating relative to the respective arm or jaw of the housing of the apparatus in order to be able to deviate more from at least one of the other and to adapt to different thicknesses hair strand and / or variations in thickness of a wick, and this over the entire useful length of the treatment parts. By floating assembly of a portion relative to its housing arm or with respect to a processing part vis-à-vis, it includes a mounting with play and possibility of displacement, under the thrust of return means (for example elastic, magnetic, etc.) when the part is subjected to a force, in a direction opposite to that on which the effort is exerted. In this case, the force being exerted by the lock of hair, the treatment parts will move apart to compensate for the thickness of the bit introduced. Such a floating assembly leaves one or more degrees of freedom to the support portion, the heating portion or both, when both are floating.
Selon l'invention, les parties chauffante et d'appui sont maintenues ensemble dans un cadre fixe en position fermée au repos, l'appareil comportant des moyens d'introduction automatique des cheveux entre ces parties de traitement. La partie montée flottante est poussée par la force des moyens de suspension en direction de la partie en vis-à-vis, les parties en vis-à-vis étant montées de manière à ce qu'elles se touchent au niveau de leurs surfaces de contact avec les cheveux, voire en présentant un faible jeu (d'environ 1 mm) au niveau de ces surfaces de contact avec les cheveux, même en l'absence des cheveux. Par moyens d'introduction automatique des cheveux entre les parties de traitement on comprend une gorge évasée à l'extrémité avant des parties de traitement par laquelle l'on peut introduire une mèche de cheveux en la guidant avec une main de manière à ce que l'épaisseur de la mèche écarte les parties de traitement se faisant face.According to the invention, the heating and support portions are held together in a fixed frame in the closed position at rest, the apparatus comprising means for automatically introducing the hair between these treatment parts. The floating mounted portion is pushed by the force of the suspension means towards the portion facing each other, the facing parts being mounted so that they touch each other at their bearing surfaces. contact with the hair, even with a slight clearance (of about 1 mm) at these surfaces of contact with the hair, even in the absence of hair. By means of automatic introduction of the hair between the treatment parts comprises a flared groove at the front end of the treatment parts by which one can introduce a lock of hair by guiding it with one hand so that the The thickness of the wick spreads the treatment parts facing each other.
Ainsi, l'utilisatrice insère facilement les cheveux à l'intérieur de l'appareil, en les dirigeant à l'aide des moyens d'introduction automatique entre les parties de traitement, l'une des parties de traitement ou les deux s'écartant alors pour laisser pénétrer la mèche de cheveux, tout en la maintenant en contact avec la partie de traitement en vis-à-vis. L'introduction des cheveux dans l'appareil se fait donc naturellement, les parties de traitement s'écartent en s'adaptant à l'épaisseur de la mèche et le traitement s'effectue sans que l'utilisatrice ait à exercer le moindre effort de pression sur les parties de traitement ou leurs supports, celle-ci n'ayant qu'à faire glisser naturellement l'appareil le long de la mèche saisie, à partir de la racine et vers la pointe des cheveux.Thus, the user easily inserts the hair inside the apparatus, by directing them by means of the automatic introduction means between the treatment parts, one of the treatment parts or the two deviating then to let in the lock of hair, while keeping it in contact with the treatment part vis-à-vis. The introduction of the hair into the device is therefore done naturally, the parts of treatment deviate by adapting to the thickness of the wick and the treatment is carried out without the user having to exert the slightest effort of pressure on the treatment parts or their supports, the latter simply having to slide naturally the device along the seized wick, from the root and to the tip of the hair.
Un tel appareil est d'une utilisation facile et intuitive, il permet donc d'effectuer un traitement sans effort, avec plus de liberté pour la personne l'utilisant, celle-ci n'étant plus obligée à appuyer pour maintenir une pression sur les cheveux, et, en même temps, il est capable d'absorber la variabilité d'épaisseur de la mèche de cheveux introduite à l'intérieur des moyens de mise en forme flottants et de transmettre donc intégralement les calories à la mèche de cheveux à traiter, sans tenir compte de son épaisseur variable. Un tel appareil exerce donc une pression continue et constante sur une mèche de cheveux, indépendamment de la personne l'utilisant. Le résultat est une mise en forme des cheveux plus rapide (il n'y a pas besoin de revenir sur les parties non traitées correctement lors du premier passage), d'aspect uniforme et durable dans le temps.Such a device is easy to use and intuitive, it allows to perform a treatment without effort, with more freedom for the person using it no longer having to press to maintain pressure on the hair, and, at the same time, it is able to absorb the variability in thickness of the lock of hair introduced inside the floating shaping means and to transmit fully calories to the lock of hair to be treated, regardless of its variable thickness. Such a device therefore exerts a continuous and constant pressure on a lock of hair, regardless of the person using it. The result is a faster hair shaping (there is no need to return to the untreated parts correctly during the first pass), uniform in appearance and durable over time.
De préférence, ledit cadre comporte au moins deux bras sensiblement parallèles reliés ensemble à l'une de leurs extrémités, la partie chauffante et/ou celle d'appui étant montées flottantes en translation dans une direction transversale à celle de l'axe longitudinal du cadre.Preferably, said frame comprises at least two substantially parallel arms connected together at one of their ends, the heating portion and / or that of support being mounted floating in translation in a direction transverse to that of the longitudinal axis of the frame .
Une telle configuration de cadre en forme de U permet déjà une introduction aisée des cheveux avec la partie ouverte du U, tout en supportant les parties de mise en forme chacune sur l'une des branches parallèles du U, en étant reliées ensemble à leur base, le tout dans un encombrement réduit et pour un cadre présentant une bonne rigidité. Ce cadre peut supporter également le boîtier qui vient l'habiller extérieurement ou il peut constituer en même temps le boîtier de l'appareil. Dans une autre variante, ce cadre peut présenter plusieurs bras parallèles, par exemple trois ou quatre, afin de constituer ainsi plusieurs surfaces chauffantes ou d'appui, pouvant par exemple être destiné au traitement simultané de plusieurs mèches.Such a U-shaped frame configuration already allows easy introduction of the hair with the open part of the U, while supporting the shaping parts each on one of the parallel branches of the U, being connected together at their base , all in a small footprint and for a frame with good rigidity. This frame can also support the housing that comes dressed externally or it can be at the same time the housing of the device. In another variant, this frame may have a plurality of parallel arms, for example three or four, to thereby constitute several heating or support surfaces, which may for example be intended for the simultaneous treatment of several wicks.
On pourrait, certes, réaliser un montage flottant de la partie chauffante et/ou d'appui en les liant avec au moins une articulation de type pivot ou de type rotule à son support, ce qui lui permet un mouvement de rotation selon un ou plusieurs axes du cadre. On préfère toutefois les relier avec une articulation de type glissière lui autorisant une translation perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal du boîtier lui permettant de mieux s'adapter à l'épaisseur d'une mèche étalée sur la longueur utile des parties chauffante, respectivement d'appui qui sont, elles parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du boîtier.One could, of course, make a floating assembly of the heating and / or support part by linking them with at least one hinge type pivot or ball-type to its support, which allows a rotational movement according to one or more axes of the frame. However, it is preferred to connect them with a sliding-type joint allowing it to be translated perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the housing allowing it to better adapt to the thickness of a wick spread over the useful length of the heating portions, respectively support which are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing.
Avantageusement, les moyens d'introduction des cheveux sont formés dans le prolongement de la partie chauffante et/ou de la partie d'appui.Advantageously, the means for introducing the hair are formed in the extension of the heating portion and / or the support portion.
On aurait pu, certes, réaliser ces moyens d'introduction à l'extrémité du cadre ou du boîtier de l'appareil, en les prolongeant jusqu'au niveau des parties de traitement. Pour plus de facilité d'insertion des cheveux entre deux parties de traitement en vis-à-vis, on préfère toutefois réaliser les moyens d'introduction dans le prolongement des parties de traitement. Ces moyens d'introduction peuvent alors être réalisés sous forme d'une surface d'introduction des cheveux s'évasant extérieurement selon un arc de cercle, de forme biseautée ou de chanfrein, de préférence un chanfrein arqué ou arrondi, voire issu d'une portion de cylindre et ayant sensiblement la même largeur que la surface de traitement avec laquelle elle coopère.It would have been possible, of course, to realize these means of introduction to the end of the frame or the housing of the apparatus, by extending them to the level of the treatment parts. For ease of insertion of the hair between two treatment parts vis-à-vis, it is however preferred to carry out the introduction means in the extension of the treatment parts. These introduction means can then be made in the form of an insertion surface of the hair flaring outwardly in a circular arc, chamfered or chamfered, preferably an arcuate or rounded chamfer, or even from a portion of cylinder and having substantially the same width as the processing surface with which it cooperates.
De préférence, ledit cadre est relié à une poignée comportant un axe longitudinal et les moyens d'introduction des cheveux sont agencés à l'extrémité opposée de la poignée, de part et d'autre de son axe longitudinal.Preferably, said frame is connected to a handle having a longitudinal axis and the means for introducing the hair are arranged at the opposite end of the handle, on either side of its longitudinal axis.
Cette configuration d'appareil allongé avec une poignée dans le prolongement du cadre de support des parties de traitement est plus ergonomique et permet une manipulation aisée de l'appareil. L'agencement des moyens d'introduction des cheveux de manière symétrique par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de l'appareil permet une insertion encore plus facile, quasi automatique des cheveux à l'intérieur des parties de traitement, les cheveux pouvant être ainsi saisis au plus près de leur racine. Cet agencement convient plus particulièrement à la variante de réalisation où la partie chauffante et la partie d'appui sont montées flottantes par rapport au cadre fixe.This elongated device configuration with a handle in the extension of the support frame of the treatment parts is more ergonomic and allows easy handling of the device. The arrangement of the means for introducing the hair symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus allows an even easier, almost automatic insertion of the hair inside the treatment parts, the hair can thus be seized closer to their roots. This arrangement is more particularly suitable for the embodiment variant wherein the heating portion and the support portion are mounted floating relative to the fixed frame.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, lesdits moyens de suspension sont en relation avec la force d'un champ magnétique.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said suspension means are related to the force of a magnetic field.
Ainsi, il a été constaté de manière surprenante lors des tests effectués en laboratoire, qu'un tel montage flottant magnétique permettait à la partie soumise au déplacement par le champ magnétique de s'adapter de manière très rigoureuse à la moindre épaisseur de mèche de cheveux venant s'insérer entre les parties chauffante et d'appui en vis-à-vis. Cette adaptation se fait sans la moindre perte mécanique due aux frottements, blocages, tolérances de fabrication des composants (les défauts géométriques de construction étant rattrapés par ce montage flottant à aimants), etc.Thus, it has surprisingly been found during tests carried out in the laboratory, that such a magnetic floating assembly allowed the part subjected to displacement by the magnetic field to adapt very rigorously to the least thickness of lock of hair. inserted between the heating and support parts vis-à-vis. This adaptation is done without the slightest mechanical loss due to friction, blockages, manufacturing tolerances of the components (the geometrical defects of construction being caught up by this floating assembly with magnets), etc.
Dans une première variante de réalisation, la partie d'appui comprend au moins un aimant permanent et la partie chauffante est réalisée au moins en partie en un matériau magnétique.In a first variant embodiment, the support portion comprises at least one permanent magnet and the heating portion is made at least partly of a magnetic material.
Selon cette variante de réalisation de l'invention, la partie chauffante est montée avec jeu et possibilité de déplacement en direction de la plaque d'appui pour s'adapter à l'épaisseur de la mèche introduite entre les deux. Dans une variante de ce mode, la partie chauffante peut être munie d'aimants et la partie d'appui être réalisée en un matériau magnétique et montée avec possibilité de déplacement par rapport à la première. Par matériau magnétique on comprend un matériau qui peut être attiré par un aimant, du type comparable au fer ou ferromagnétique, par exemple en un alliage ferreux, à base de nickel ou à base de cobalt. Un appareil de coiffure réalisé selon ce mode présente une structure simplifiée et est d'une réalisation très économique, l'une ou l'autre des parties, voire les deux pouvant être montées avec possibilité de déplacement.According to this embodiment of the invention, the heating part is mounted with clearance and possibility of displacement in the direction of the support plate to adapt to the thickness of the wick introduced between the two. In a variant of this mode, the heating portion may be provided with magnets and the support portion be made of a magnetic material and mounted with the possibility of displacement relative to the first. By magnetic material is understood a material which can be attracted by a magnet, comparable to iron or ferromagnetic type, for example a ferrous alloy, nickel-based or cobalt-based. A hairdressing apparatus made according to this mode has a simplified structure and is a very economical embodiment, one or other of the parts, or both can be mounted with the possibility of displacement.
Dans une deuxième variante de réalisation de l'invention, la partie d'appui comprend au moins un premier aimant permanent coopérant avec un deuxième aimant permanent en vis-à-vis de la partie chauffante monté en opposition de phase avec le premier.In a second embodiment of the invention, the support portion comprises at least a first permanent magnet cooperating with a second permanent magnet vis-à-vis the heating portion mounted in phase opposition with the first.
La partie chauffante est montée avec jeu dans son logement prévu à l'intérieur de son boîtier et se déplace vers la partie d'appui lorsque la distance entre les aimants en vis-à-vis permet au champ magnétique d'exercer sa force, bien que dans une variante l'autre partie pourrait être montée avec jeu, voire chacune des parties pourrait être montée flottante part rapport à son boîtier. L'utilisation des aimants en vis-à-vis permet d'exercer des efforts importants sur les cheveux, la valeur de l'effort pouvant par ailleurs être réglée en ajustant l'écartement entre les aimants. Une telle construction à aimants en vis-à-vis en opposition de phase (on comprend que les pôles opposés se font face) permet de créer un champ magnétique par attraction entre les moyens de mise en forme, ce qui permet d'amener en contact et/ou de maintenir les moyens de mise en forme l'un contre l'autre.The heating part is mounted with play in its housing provided inside its housing and moves towards the support part when the distance between the Magnets facing each other allows the magnetic field to exert its force, although in a variant the other part could be mounted with play, or each of the parts could be mounted floating relative to its housing. The use of magnets vis-à-vis allows to exert significant efforts on the hair, the value of the effort can also be adjusted by adjusting the spacing between the magnets. Such a magnet construction vis-à-vis in phase opposition (it is understood that the opposite poles face each other) makes it possible to create a magnetic field by attraction between the shaping means, which makes it possible to bring into contact and / or to maintain the shaping means against each other.
Dans une troisième variante de réalisation de l'invention, la partie d'appui ou la partie chauffante comportent un premier aimant permanent coopérant avec un deuxième aimant permanent en vis-à-vis appartenant au cadre, le deuxième aimant permanent étant monté en phase avec le premier.In a third embodiment of the invention, the support part or the heating part comprise a first permanent magnet cooperating with a second permanent magnet vis-à-vis belonging to the frame, the second permanent magnet being mounted in phase with the first.
Dans cette variante, la partie comportant les aimants est supportée en flottement par les aimants en phase du cadre formant boîtier. De ce fait, le champ magnétique se referme à l'intérieur du boîtier de l'appareil, sans influencer la zone de traitement venant au contact des cheveux. De surcroît, les aimants ainsi agencés sont éloignés des surfaces de traitement, donc moins soumis à la température, ce qui améliore leur durée de vie.In this variant, the part comprising the magnets is floated by the magnets in phase of the housing frame. As a result, the magnetic field closes inside the housing of the apparatus, without influencing the treatment zone coming into contact with the hair. In addition, the magnets thus arranged are away from the treatment surfaces, so less subject to temperature, which improves their service life.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, lesdits moyens de suspension sont des moyens élastiques.In another embodiment of the invention, said suspension means are elastic means.
Cette construction présente l'avantage d'être plus économique, les moyens élastiques pouvant être des ressorts hélicoïdaux, en feuille, de torsion, etc., des pièces en un matériau déformable, par exemple des patins en caoutchouc, etc.This construction has the advantage of being more economical, the elastic means being helicoidal springs, sheet, torsion, etc., parts of a deformable material, for example rubber pads, etc.
Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de suspension sont agencés sensiblement au niveau de chaque extrémité de la partie d'appui ou de la partie chauffante.Advantageously, said suspension means are arranged substantially at each end of the support portion or the heating portion.
Ceci permet de mieux répartir l'effort de serrage des cheveux le long de la surface de traitement et d'appliquer une force uniforme sur toute cette surface.This makes it possible to better distribute the clamping force of the hair along the treatment surface and to apply a uniform force on all this surface.
De préférence, la partie d'appui est chauffante.Preferably, the support portion is heated.
Ceci permet d'obtenir une mise en forme améliorée des cheveux, car ils sont traités par la chaleur simultanément avec les deux surfaces de traitement se faisant face, celle de la partie chauffante et celle de la partie d'appui en vis-à-vis.This makes it possible to obtain improved shaping of the hair, since they are heat-treated simultaneously with the two facing treatment surfaces, that of the heating part and that of the support part facing each other. .
Dans une variante de réalisation de l'appareil, la partie d'appui ou la partie chauffante présente une surface de traitement des cheveux de forme plane ou de forme ondulée.In an alternative embodiment of the apparatus, the support portion or the heating portion has a hair treatment surface of flat or corrugated shape.
Un tel appareil est plus particulièrement destiné au lissage des cheveux, les cheveux pouvant alors être lissés entre une surface plane de traitement et une surface gauche ou une tranche de la surface d'appui ou entre deux surfaces planes de traitement, celle de la partie chauffante et celle de la surface d'appui. Dans une variante, l'une des surfaces de traitement est ondulée et vient coopérer avec une surface de traitement en vis-à-vis ayant une forme complémentaire de façon à contraindre les cheveux lors du passage entre ces deux surfaces de traitement.Such an apparatus is more particularly intended for smoothing the hair, the hair then being able to be smoothed between a flat treatment surface and a left surface or a slice of the support surface or between two flat treatment surfaces, that of the heating part. and that of the bearing surface. In one variant, one of the treatment surfaces is corrugated and cooperates with a treatment surface facing one another having a complementary shape so as to constrain the hair during the passage between these two treatment surfaces.
De préférence, des moyens de guidage de la partie chauffante ou de la partie d'appui sont agencés selon un plan médian perpendiculaire au plan de la surface de traitement des cheveux ou de part et d'autre de ce plan.Preferably, means for guiding the heating part or the support part are arranged in a median plane perpendicular to the plane of the hair treatment surface or on either side of this plane.
De tels moyens de guidage peuvent être des moyens en translation ou en rotation et, lorsqu'ils sont agencés selon un plan médian de la surface de traitement ou de part et d'autre de ce plan médian, ils assurent l'application d'un effort uniforme sur toute la surface de traitement et, par conséquent, aux cheveux à traiter.Such guiding means may be means in translation or in rotation and, when they are arranged in a median plane of the treatment surface or on either side of this median plane, they ensure the application of a uniform effort on the entire treatment surface and, therefore, the hair to be treated.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation de l'appareil, la partie chauffante présente une surface de traitement des cheveux ayant une forme de révolution et la partie d'appui présente une plaque de traitement se conformant à la forme de la partie chauffante.In another alternative embodiment of the apparatus, the heating portion has a hair treatment surface having a shape of revolution and the bearing portion has a treatment plate conforming to the shape of the heating portion.
Une telle forme de révolution peut être un cylindre ou un cône, la surface de traitement permettant alors de réaliser des boucles par enroulement des cheveux autour de l'axe de la surface de traitement, tout en les maintenant contre cette surface par la surface d'appui. Dans une variante, la partie chauffante est en contact avec deux parties d'appui de forme complémentaire situées de part et d'autre de son axe longitudinal.Such a form of revolution may be a cylinder or a cone, the treatment surface then making it possible to make loops by winding the hair around the axis of the treatment surface, while keeping them against this surface by the surface of support. In a variant, the heating portion is in contact with two complementary shaped support portions located on either side of its longitudinal axis.
Avantageusement, l'appareil comporte des moyens de guidage radial de la partie d'appui.Advantageously, the apparatus comprises radial guide means of the support portion.
La partie d'appui étant montée flottante, son guidage radial par rapport à la partie chauffante cylindrique ou conique en vis-à-vis permet l'application d'une pression uniforme sur la mèche à traiter et, de ce fait, un meilleur contact avec la surface chauffante d'enroulement des cheveux, sur toute la longueur de cette dernière. Ce guidage radial peut être un guidage en rotation ou en translation.The support portion being mounted floating, its radial guide relative to the heating portion cylindrical or conical vis-à-vis allows the application of a uniform pressure on the wick to be treated and, therefore, a better contact with the heating surface of winding hair, over the entire length of the latter. This radial guide may be a guide in rotation or in translation.
Dans une variante avantageuse de réalisation de l'invention, l'appareil comporte des moyens de commande pour envoyer de la vapeur au niveau d'au moins l'une des parties chauffante ou d'appui.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the apparatus comprises control means for sending steam at least one of the heating or support portions.
L'appareil comporte donc des moyens de commande de l'arrivée de vapeur au niveau des cheveux se trouvant entre les parties : chauffante et d'appui. Ainsi, un tel appareil à cadre fixe ou fermé peut avantageusement être utilisé pour commander la production de vapeur envoyée ensuite sur les cheveux pour effectuer leur mise en forme à l'aide de la vapeur, ceci grâce au fait que n'ayant plus à exercer de pression sur les bras du boîtier pour maintenir en contact les parties de traitement, l'utilisatrice peut alors aisément actionner un bouton de commande pour envoyer de la vapeur en direction des cheveux.The apparatus therefore comprises means for controlling the arrival of steam at the level of the hair lying between the parts: heating and support. Thus, such a fixed or closed frame apparatus can advantageously be used to control the production of steam then sent to the hair to perform their shaping with the aid of steam, this thanks to the fact that no longer having to exercise pressing the arms of the housing to keep in contact the treatment parts, the user can then easily operate a control button to send steam towards the hair.
De préférence, les moyens de commande agissent sur des moyens de production de vapeur de l'appareil comportant un réservoir d'eau relié par un conduit à une chambre de vaporisation débouchant par des orifices de sortie de vapeur au niveau de la surface de traitement de la partie chauffante.Preferably, the control means act on steam generating means of the apparatus comprising a water reservoir connected by a conduit to a vaporization chamber opening through steam outlet openings at the surface of treatment of the heating part.
Les moyens de production de vapeur auraient pu être externes à l'appareil et reliés à ce dernier par un conduit souple, on préfère toutefois, pour plus de compacité les intégrer à l'appareil et les commander à la poignée.The steam production means could have been external to the device and connected to the latter by a flexible conduit, it is however preferred, for more compactness integrate them to the device and control the handle.
Avantageusement, l'appareil de l'invention comprend des moyens de réglage de la force des moyens de suspension.Advantageously, the apparatus of the invention comprises means for adjusting the force of the suspension means.
Ceci permet d'adapter la force d'appui d'une partie ou des parties de mise en forme au type de cheveux à traiter, de réduire ainsi l'effort appliqué aux cheveux, la sensation de tiraillement ressentie par l'utilisatrice et d'assurer également une meilleure protection des cheveux. Ainsi, il a été constaté lors des tests effectués en laboratoire, qu'une force importante est à appliquer plutôt sur des cheveux épais et robustes, et qu'elle devrait être moindre sur les cheveux fins et délicats. Les moyens de réglage peuvent être des moyens mécaniques, par exemple utilisant une vis de réglage ou des cames qui déplacent l'aimant au sein de son logement, ou qui compriment le moyen élastique, et permettant ainsi de varier la distance entre les parties de traitement en vis-à-vis. Dans l'une de leurs positions limite, les moyens de réglage peuvent constituer des moyens de débrayage assurant l'ouverture des plaques normalement en contact.This makes it possible to adapt the support force of a part or parts of shaping to the type of hair to be treated, thereby reducing the stress applied to the hair, the feeling of tightness felt by the user and the also ensure better protection of the hair. Thus, it has been found during laboratory tests, that a significant force is to be applied rather on thick and sturdy hair, and that it should be less on fine and delicate hair. The adjustment means may be mechanical means, for example using a set screw or cams which move the magnet within its housing, or which compress the elastic means, and thus allowing the distance between the treatment parts to be varied. in vis-à-vis. In one of their limit positions, the adjustment means may constitute disengaging means ensuring the opening of the plates normally in contact.

En fonctionnement, après la mise en température de l'appareil, l'utilisatrice saisit à la main une mèche de cheveux et l'amène au niveau des chanfreins arqués 35, de préférence en plaçant l'appareil au plus près du cuir chevelu. Les chanfreins 35 font ensuite glisser la mèche vers l'intérieur de l'appareil, la mèche venant s'insérer automatiquement entre les parties : chauffante 3 et d'appui 2 de l'appareil, en les écartant. Les parties d'appui 2 et chauffante 3 s'écartent en s'adaptant à l'épaisseur de la mèche et à la variation de cette mèche sur la longueur de leurs surfaces de traitement. L'utilisatrice déplace ensuite l'appareil le long de la mèche de cheveux, de la racine vers la pointe des cheveux et ceci sans avoir à exercer un effort pendant le lissage, l'appareil comportant un boîtier à cadre fixe et les parties d'appui 2 et chauffante 3 étant maintenues en contact par la force du champ magnétique s'adaptent automatiquement à l'épaisseur de la mèche.In operation, after warming up the apparatus, the user grasps a lock of hair by hand and brings it to the level of the

En fonctionnement, après la mise en température de l'appareil, l'utilisatrice introduit sa mèche de cheveux par le dégagement 45 entre les parties chauffante 3 et d'appui 2 de l'appareil, de préférence en plaçant l'appareil au plus près du cuir chevelu. La plaque d'appui 2 écarte les aimants 11, 12 qui continuent à maintenir en pression l'une contre l'autre les parties d'appui 2 et chauffante 3. La partie d'appui 2 étant placée sur deux, voire, dans une variante, sur quatre paires d'aimants, elle épouse parfaitement les variations d'épaisseur des mèches de cheveux à traiter. L'utilisatrice déplace ensuite l'appareil le long de la mèche de cheveux, de la racine vers la pointe des cheveux et ceci sans avoir à exercer un effort pendant le lissage, l'appareil comportant un boîtier fermé et les parties d'appui 2 et chauffante 3 étant maintenues en contact par la force du champ magnétique s'adaptent à l'épaisseur de la mèche.In operation, after warming up the apparatus, the user introduces her lock of hair by the
Dans une variante non représentée aux dessins, la partie chauffante est un mandrin de forme cylindrique ou conique et la partie d'appui présente une plaque de traitement se conformant à la forme de la partie chauffante, les deux étant montés dans un cadre fixe à l'extrémité d'une poignée. Le cadre fixe comporte, comme précédemment, un bras supérieur supportant une partie d'appui montée flottante, par exemple en utilisant des ressorts, ou des aimants montés en phase avec ceux du boîtier, etc. et munie d'un chanfrein arrondi d'introduction des cheveux. Le cadre fixe comporte également un bras inférieur supportant, lui, le mandrin monté, par exemple, fixe par rapport au bras inférieur du cadre. En fonctionnement, on introduit une mèche par le chanfrein frontal et on l'enroule autour du mandrin. La partie d'appui s'écarte en s'adaptant à l'épaisseur de la mèche enroulée.In a variant not shown in the drawings, the heating portion is a mandrel of cylindrical or conical shape and the bearing portion has a treatment plate conforming to the shape of the heating portion, both being mounted in a fixed frame to the end of a handle. The fixed frame comprises, as above, an upper arm supporting a floating mounted support portion, for example using springs, or magnets mounted in phase with those of the housing, etc. and provided with a rounded chamfer of introduction of the hair. The fixed frame also comprises a lower arm supporting him, the chuck mounted, for example, fixed relative to the lower arm of the frame. In operation, a wick is introduced through the front bevel and wound around the mandrel. The support part deviates by adapting to the thickness of the wound wick.

En fonctionnement, après la mise en température de l'appareil, l'utilisatrice saisit à la main une mèche de cheveux et l'amène au niveau des chanfreins 35, de préférence en plaçant l'appareil au plus près du cuir chevelu. Les chanfreins arqués 35 font ensuite glisser la mèche vers l'intérieur de l'appareil, la mèche venant s'insérer automatiquement entre les parties : chauffante 3 et d'appui 2 de l'appareil. De par son montage flottant, la partie d'appui 2 s'écarte en s'adaptant à l'épaisseur de la mèche et à la variation de cette mèche sur la longueur de sa surface de traitement. L'utilisatrice peut à ce moment appuyer sur la membrane souple 52 pour commander l'arrivée d'eau dans la chambre de vaporisation 55 (ou dans une variante appuyer sur le bouton de commande d'une pompe qui envoie l'eau dans la chambre de vapeur), son geste étant facilité du fait qu'elle n'a plus à exercer de pression sur le boîtier pour fermer l'appareil. L'utilisatrice déplace ensuite l'appareil le long de la mèche de cheveux, de la racine vers la pointe des cheveux et ceci sans avoir à exercer un effort pendant le lissage. L'appareil à boîtier fermé et cadre fixe permet ainsi aux parties d'appui 2 et chauffante 3 d'être maintenues en contact par la force du champ magnétique tout en s'adaptant automatiquement à l'épaisseur de la mèche traitée.In operation, after warming up the apparatus, the user grasps a lock of hair by hand and brings it to the level of the
D'autres variantes et modes de réalisation de l'invention peuvent être envisagés sans sortir du cadre de ses revendications.Other variants and embodiments of the invention may be envisaged without departing from the scope of its claims.
Ainsi, le champ magnétique peut être réalisé en remplaçant les aimants permanents par un électroaimant.Thus, the magnetic field can be achieved by replacing the permanent magnets with an electromagnet.
