Il est connu divers appareils de coiffure qui permettent de traiter les cheveux en vue de les lisser, de les boucler ou de les gaufrer. Ces appareils de coiffure comprennent une unité de traitement portable constituée notamment de deux bras, ou mâchoires, qui comportent chacun une surface pouvant être plane ou incurvée. Les deux bras sont articulés entre eux pour former une pince configurée pour pincer les cheveux entre les deux surfaces disposées en vis-à-vis, lors du rapprochement des deux bras. Ces deux bras comprennent également une zone de préhension permettant l'ouverture et la fermeture de la pince ainsi que sa manipulation durant le coiffage. Au moins l'une de ces deux surfaces comporte un dispositif chauffant permettant le traitement par chauffe des cheveux lors de leur pincement. Le lissage d'une mèche de cheveux s'effectue en pinçant la mèche entre les deux surfaces et en déplaçant la pince fermée le long de cette mèche, de la racine vers la pointe. Le bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux s'effectue en pinçant la mèche entre les deux surfaces et en enroulant au moins partiellement cette mèche autour des surfaces, la chaleur permettant de fixer la boucle de cheveux.Various hairdressing devices are known which make it possible to treat the hair with a view to straightening it, curling it or crimping it. These hairdressing devices include a portable processing unit consisting in particular of two arms, or jaws, which each have a surface which may be flat or curved. The two arms are articulated together to form a clamp configured to clamp the hair between the two surfaces arranged vis-à-vis, when the two arms are brought together. These two arms also include a gripping zone allowing the opening and closing of the clamp as well as its manipulation during styling. At least one of these two surfaces includes a heating device allowing the treatment by heating the hair when it is pinched. The straightening of a lock of hair is done by pinching the lock between the two surfaces and moving the closed clamp along this lock, from the root to the tip. The curling of a lock of hair is carried out by pinching the lock between the two surfaces and by at least partially wrapping this lock around the surfaces, the heat making it possible to fix the curl of hair.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un appareil de coiffure comprenant une unité de traitement portable munie de deux bras configurés pour former une pince munie de deux surfaces disposées en vis-à-vis qui permettent concomitamment le pincement d'une mèche de cheveux. L'unité de traitement portable comprend des moyens de diffusion de vapeur configurés pour diffuser de la vapeur depuis une première des deux surfaces vers la seconde des deux surfaces. De manière remarquable, l'appareil de coiffure comprend des moyens de confinement de la vapeur diffusée, entre les deux surfaces plaquées l'une contre l'autre. Ces moyens de confinement permettent de préserver une quantité de vapeur au contact de la mèche de cheveux avec une répartition homogène, dans un espace de confinement disposé entre les deux surfaces qui pincent ladite mèche, en sorte de favoriser le traitement par vapeur. Cette vapeur demeure dans l'espace de confinement un laps de temps avant de s'échapper sous l'action du débit de vapeur. Le confinement de la vapeur permet avantageusement de réduire le débit de vapeur des moyens de vaporisation de l'unité de traitement portable. La vapeur est amenée et circule par des moyens de diffusion ou encore des moyens de projection, la circulation pouvant en effet se faire sans ou avec surpression.To this end, the invention relates to a hairdressing appliance comprising a portable processing unit provided with two arms configured to form a clamp provided with two surfaces arranged opposite each other which simultaneously allow the clamping of a lock of hair. The portable processing unit includes vapor diffusion means configured to diffuse vapor from a first of the two surfaces to the second of the two surfaces. Remarkably, the hairdressing appliance comprises means for confining the vapor diffused between the two surfaces pressed against each other. These confinement means make it possible to preserve a quantity of steam in contact with the lock of hair with a homogeneous distribution, in a confinement space arranged between the two surfaces which pinch said lock, so as to promote the steam treatment. This vapor remains in the containment space for a period of time before escaping under the action of the vapor flow. Confining the steam advantageously makes it possible to reduce the steam flow rate from the vaporization means of the portable treatment unit. The steam is supplied and circulates by diffusion means or else projection means, the circulation being able in fact to take place without or with overpressure.
Selon l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, les moyens de confinement de la vapeur comprennent une gorge agencée dans la seconde des deux surfaces, en vis-à-vis des moyens de diffusion. Ainsi la vapeur passe au travers de la mèche de cheveux et demeure confinée dans ladite gorge.According to the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention, the means for confining the steam comprise a groove arranged in the second of the two surfaces, facing the diffusion means. The steam thus passes through the lock of hair and remains confined in said groove.
Selon cette mise en œuvre de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, la gorge débouche sur au moins l'un des deux bords longitudinaux de la seconde surface en sorte de permettre l'échappement de cette vapeur sous l'action du débit de vapeur sortant des moyens de diffusion, après avoir maintenu cette vapeur confinée dans ladite gorge. La vapeur dans l'espace de confinement est ainsi renouvelée. Cela permet de maintenir une pression de vapeur dans l'espace de confinement, cette pression pouvant être substantiellement constante.According to this implementation of the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention, the groove opens onto at least one of the two longitudinal edges of the second surface so as to allow the escape of this vapor under the action of the flow. steam leaving the diffusion means, after having kept this vapor confined in said groove. The vapor in the confinement space is thus renewed. This makes it possible to maintain a vapor pressure in the containment space, this pressure being able to be substantially constant.
Selon cette mise en œuvre de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, la gorge a une largeur comprise entre 2 et 6 mm, de préférence 2,5 mm, et une profondeur comprise entre 0,5 et 2 mm, de préférence 1 mm. Ces dimensions permettent une optimisation de l'espace de confinement en sorte de maintenir une vapeur renouvelée suffisante en contact sur une largeur de mèche de cheveux afin de la traiter. En outre, la gorge a une longueur comprise entre 20 et 220 mm, de préférence 90 mm, en vue d'une optimisation du volume de l'espace de confinement pour un débit de vapeur réduit compris entre 0,5 et 2 g/min , de préférence entre 0,9 et 1,2g/min.According to this implementation of the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention, the groove has a width of between 2 and 6 mm, preferably 2.5 mm, and a depth of between 0.5 and 2 mm, preferably 1 mm.
