Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of distributing cosmetics, more particularly, to the field of distributing cosmetics in the hair.
  • the invention provides a combing device for combing hair, the device comprising, a container suitable for housing some content, the container comprising holes arranged in a brushing zone of the container, a plurality of teeth attached to the brushing zone of the container, shaking means, suitable for causing a movement in the interior of the container, and a triboelectric generator adapted for creating a triboelectric effect on the hair to be combed.
  • the combing device is adapted to spread the content of the container to the scalp and the hair.
  • the content of the container leaves the container through the holes and said content is laid along the hair and the scalp.
  • the combing device allows a user to comb himself and to distribute the content of the container equally in each region of his hair.
  • this equal distribution allows content saving.
  • the combing device of the invention allows correct administration of the treatment along the hair and the scalp. Furthermore, the triboelectric effect prepares the hair for a better reception of the content of the container.
  • the triboelectric generator achieves its aim by comprising a material with an electron affinity is lower than the electron affinity of hair, which is deemed to be around +45nC/J.
  • wool is considered to be the reference value (0 nC/J).
  • Electron affinity or charge affinity is considered as the charge transfer per unit of energy that is transferred when two bodies are rubbed against the other. Thus, any material with such an electron affinity will create a triboelectric effect in hair.
  • the material comprised in the triboelectric generator comprises a polymer with an electron affinity which is comprised between -40nC/J and -190nC/J.
  • this polymer is a vinyl polymer such as PVC.
  • the triboelectric generator is comprised in the teeth themselves, because they are made of such a polymer.
  • the triboelectric generator generates a triboelectric effect in the hair to be combed. This effect prepares the hair to receive the content of the container, as it separates each hair from the others while contributing to adhere the material within the container to the hair due to differences in electrostatic charge.
  • the triboelectric generator is located surrounding the brushing zone of the combing device. This configuration provides the advantage that the triboelectric effect is induced in the hair regardless the direction of the combing action.
  • the container further comprises a covering structure movable between a first position and a second position, and further adapted to cover the holes of the container, when the covering structure is in a first position, and uncover the holes of the container, when the covering structure is in a second position.
  • the covering structure When the covering structure is in its first position, it covers the holes and as a consequence, the content of the container cannot exit the container. When the covering structure is in its second position, the holes are uncovered and the content of the container can exit the container through the holes.
  • said covering structure allows spreading the content of the container only when desired by the user, thus saving the content of the container.
  • the covering structure is a sheet. In particular embodiments, this sheet is located inside the container over the holes; in other embodiments the sheet is located outside the container. Different configurations are also possible.
  • the shaking means are synchronized with the covering structure, so that when shaking means are activated, the covering structure is moved to the second position and when shaking means are deactivated, the covering structure is released to the first position.
  • said shaking means when the user activates the shaking means to apply the product, said shaking means move the covering structure, preferably a sheet inside the container, to the second position, where the covering structure unblocks the holes of the container, so that the content of the container can leave the container through said holes.
  • said shaking means move the covering structure to the first position inside the container, where the covering structure blocks the holes of the container.
  • the container further comprises a spring attached to the covering structure and to the container, wherein the spring is arranged to force the covering structure to be in its first position.
  • the shaking means are configured to move the covering structure to the second position when they are activated, by applying a force which overcome the force produced by the spring.
  • the shaking means release their force, and the spring moves the covering structure back to the first position, thus covering the holes.
  • this embodiment allows a simple configuration of the device.
  • the diameters of the holes of the container are between 0.3 mm and 3 mm.
  • this size of the holes allows the content inside the container to leave the container without blocking the holes.
  • the diameters of the holes of the container are between 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm. Diameters between 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm are especially suitable when the content comprises keratin fibers.
  • the holes are tapered, to ease their filling.
  • the shaking means comprise a vibration motor which causes the container to vibrate.
  • these vibrations avoid the obstruction of the holes if the content of the container is solidified or irregular.
  • the shaking means are adapted for causing the content of the container to move, avoiding the content from being stuck in the holes of the container, and letting said content to leave the container in a more uniform way.
  • this solves the problem that arises when the action of gravity during the combing is not effective to distribute the content of the container uniformly, for example when combing the sides of the head.
  • This is also useful when the content of the container is very compact and there is need to shake the container to move the content so that it is uniformly distributed along the hair.
  • the shaking means comprise means for causing an airflow inside the container. As a consequence, the content of the container is stirred by said airflow.
  • the container comprises container divisions.
  • the container contains keratin fibers.
  • the container is detachable.
  • the container is refillable.
  • FIG. 1 shows a particular embodiment of a combing device (1) according to the invention.
  • This combing device (1) comprises:
  • the triboelectric generator (7) comprises a vinyl polymer such as PVC, with an electron affinity around -100nC/J. This triboelectric generator (7) is capable to cause a triboelectric effect on the hair when the teeth (5) of the combing device (1) make contact with the hair.
  • the triboelectric generator (7) comprise PVC elements, which are arranged in the brushing zone (4), next to the teeth (5).
  • the triboelectric generator (7) is located surrounding the brushing zone (4) of the combing device (1), so that the triboelectric effect is induced regardless the direction of the combing action, and before the teeth (5) of the combing device (1) make contact with the hair.
  • a polymer such as a plastic, is chosen, because of its electron affinity, which is higher than the average for human hair.
  • a covering structure (8) is provided inside the container (2).
  • This covering structure is adapted to be movable between a first position, then covering the holes (3) of the container (2), and a second position, then uncovering the holes (3) of the container (2).
  • the covering structure (8) is a metal sheet driven by a spring, in such a way that the spring is arranged to force the covering structure (8) to be in its first position. If nothing acts over the spring, the covering structure is located in its first position, thus covering the holes (3) of the container (2), and preventing the content (11) from exiting the container (2).
  • the shaking means (6) are also connected to the covering structure (8) in the following way:
  • the holes (3) are tapered, i.e., they are provided in a funnel shape, so that the hole (3) is wider inside the container (2) and is narrower outside the container (2).
  • the shaking means (6) comprise a vibration motor. This vibration motor is placed next to the container, and when it is activated, it causes the container (2) to vibrate. When the content (11) is inside the container, the shaking means prevent the content (11) from being stuck in the holes (3), causing the content (11) to exit uniformly by the holes (3).
  • the shaking means (6) comprise a fan, placed inside the container.
  • the fan When the fan is activated, the fan causes the content (11) inside the container to move by the airflow generated by the fan, thus preventing the content (11) from being stuck in the holes (3), causing the content (11) to exit uniformly by the holes (3).
