Definitions

• the invention relates to a hair styling device for shaping hair, in particular for curling or curling, comprising a handle part and a winder connected thereto with two extensions or extension arrangements for winding up the hair to be formed
• GB 306,795 also describes that two strands of hair can be formed simultaneously with the two winding posts, one strand of hair starting from one winding post of the eight kind being wound several times around both winding posts and the other strand of hair emanating from the other hair post.
• These double winder hair is wound up as well as conventional winder and the hair dried with these under heat.
• the measures are often supported by chemical aids, for example substances for increasing the bounce of the hair and / or shaping gels or waxes.
• known devices for shaping curls have various disadvantages. On the one hand, hair-curling is curious and time-consuming, and it takes practice to achieve a satisfying result. Furthermore, known devices are characterized in that the hair is rolled from the tips, so that the curl at the top is the strongest, while becoming weaker toward the approach, with the result that the hair is quickly flattened at the base while the tips are strongly lured or even are curly. With longer-term fixation of the curls, for example with perms, it is added that the hair is stressed by the action of the chemicals or even damaged.
• Curling irons are known in various embodiments, for example with air outlets for hot air or with heating elements in the area where the hair is wrapped around the rod, with various partially rotatable and / or driven brush attachments and with folding mechanisms to fix the hair to the curling iron. until the molding process is completed.
• a curling iron is known, which is releasably supported on the outlet of a serving for hair drying hot air blower and this has a receptacle with a stepped tubular approach with multiple longitudinal slots on the axial one for turning up the hair Serving roller brush is releasably attachable.
• the tubular part has openings, which are penetrated by the bristles of the roller brush.
• a curling iron which has a first arm with a lower surface and a second arm with an upper surface, wherein the surfaces correspond to each other and concave or convex are formed adjacent to each other.
• EP 1 472 951 A1 discloses a curling iron. This is also pliers-shaped with two arms and has heating elements in or on the arms. Further, a control unit for controlling the up and down movement of the arms, a rotor which is connected to the control unit for rotatably supporting the arms, a fixing member for supporting the rotor, a drive and a switch for driving are provided.
• the curling iron has safety heating elements, which are attached to the arms.
• a disadvantage of the known from the prior art curling irons is in addition to the high burden of hair by the heat of the scissor arms also the high expenditure of time, energy and costs, which are caused by such devices.
• the application needs exercise similar to the curlers, until a well-fitting hairstyle can be made reproducible, on the other hand, high-quality devices that protect the hair from excessive heat, expensive to purchase.
• a power outlet is required, a wireless device can not provide the necessary heat to fix the curls sufficiently. As a result, and also due to the size of the device, for example, driving while traveling is impractical.
• the locks made by curling irons are strongest at the tips and weakest at the roots, with the above-mentioned disadvantages.
• the hair is exposed by winding around the scissor arms of a kink load on the edges of the scissor arms, which can lead to hair breakage in conjunction with the action of heat.
• This hair styling device has two extensions extending typically from a base in the axial direction, which are spaced apart from each other, the distance between the extensions defining at least one strand guide path for inserting or passing a strand of hair which widens at its radial end regions the projections along the Strähnen Adjustswegs have rounded hair contact surfaces.
• the strands of hair are removed from the side of the winder facing away from the base in the strands.
• the strand of hair can be safely placed between the two extensions of the winder. If the winder is subsequently rotated, the inserted strand of hair lies around the two extensions, so that the strand section accommodated in the winder is curved in an S-shape. In another winding, the hair strand is wrapped with its two, protruding from the winder sections the two extensions wrapping around them. Thus, the envelope of the two extensions then defines the winding geometry.
• the spaced apart arrangement of the projections to each other allows easy insertion of a strand of hair in the strand guide path and a simple extraction of the shaped strand of hair after completion of the hair-forming process.
• a secure hold in the winder finds the strand of hair, when the strand guide paths are curved in an S-shape, which typically already sets after a first rotation of the winder by a few degrees.
• the extensions are formed with the same axial lengths or by the extensions have an axially parallel structure.
• the projections are circumscribed by an envelope whose profile is circular or elliptical in cross section. This reliably prevents kinks in the hair.
• the envelope is cylindrical, and more preferably the envelope should approximately coincide with the outline of the base.
• the winder comprises four extensions, of which two diagonally arranged first extensions have a same cross-sectional shape and two further diagonally arranged second projections have a same cross-sectional shape, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the first projections is different from the cross-sectional shape of the second extensions.
• These two further extensions are to be referred to as auxiliary elements in this winder.
• the first extensions have a round or oval cross-section
• the second extensions are configured to be a kink-shaped cross-section. The round or oval first extensions form the hair contact surfaces.
• the winder consists of a dimensionally stable and heat-resistant, in particular up to 180 0 C or 200 0 C heat-resistant material. To favor the molding process, it is then possible to heat the extensions to this temperature so that enough heat can be released to form the curls or waves to the hair. It is also advantageous that the winder can be heated by introducing it into a preheated environment, by introducing it into hot water, by inductive heating or by hot air, which makes the handling simple and safe.
• the winder is detachably connected to the handle part or can be connected to it. It is then possible with one and the same handle part to use winder in different sizes and diameters, so that the desired hair shaping correspondingly forms both large soft and small firm curls and waves.
• the handle part comprises an electric drive unit with a drive shaft, with which the winder are detachably connectable, wherein preferably the direction of rotation of the drive shaft can be switched.
• the handling of the hair styling device is further simplified and accelerated when the drive shaft and the winder via a plug, screw or locking connection, a quick coupling or a bayonet be releasably connected to each other.
• the grip part has a sensor which detects a pulling force of a hair strand wound on the winder via the winder and the drive shaft and an automatic function as a function of the detected tensile force Starts the drive unit triggers or turns off the drive unit.
• the drive unit may have a clutch or slip clutch, which is coupled to the sensor such that the clutch or slip clutch is opened or slips when a tensile force limit is exceeded.
• the handle part comprises an attachable comb.
• each of the parts of the comb has a concave profiling of the prongs, so that outer prongs are longer than inner prongs.
• the combing of the hair strand is facilitated when the tines are rotatably mounted in brackets, as this measure allows a quick and effective combing and straightening of the hair strands without plucking.
