Thebowl 27 comprises awater dispensing device 23 and amixer 24. - A
mirror device 4 can also be associated with thechair 2, comprising aframe 31 on which amirror 32 is mounted at least at one side. - The
frame 31 inferiorly has a base 33 with which handling means 34 are associated and said handling means 34 comprise for example wheels that allow approaching or spacing easily themirror device 4 to thechair 2, according to exigencies. - In practice, to perform cut, styling and similar treatments, the
mirror device 4 is approached to thechair 2 and placed in front of theseat 7. - The functioning of the work station is easy to understand from the preceding description.
- The
work station 1 can suitably be configured according to the treatments required by the user. In particular, to perform washing operations, thechair 2 is placed in front of thewashbasin 3, with thebackrest 6 directed towards thewashbasin 3. Such positioning is performed by swinging thechair 2 about the substantially vertical swinging axis, for a suitable extent. Thewashbasin 3 is further translated along the respective guides in order to be approached to thebackrest 6. Thebackrest 6 is, when necessary, suitably inclined with respect to theseat 7, by control of the cited operation means, to ease hair washing operations and making the user as comfortable as possible. - To perform cut, styling, dyeing and similar operations that do not require the
bowl 27, thewashbasin 3 is spaced from thechair 2 and thechair 2 is rotated in suitable manner, further spacing from thewashbasin 3, and thus enabling the operator to place himself behind thebackrest 6. Themirror device 4 can thus be approached to thechair 2, frontally to theseat 7, with themirror surface 32 turned toward the user. - In both configurations, the
seat 6 and thebackrest 7 can be lifted along the substantially vertical adjustment direction A, upon actuation of thehandling device 8, for greater comfort of the user and of the operator in the working step. - In case pedicure operations are required, the operator grasps the
handle 18 and easily extracts thecontainer 15 from thecompartment 14. Thecontainer 15 slides on the guide means 16 and the translation means 17 ease its sliding towards the outside. Once extracted thecontainer 15, thetop element 26 is removed to allow the access to thebasin 19 arranged frontally to theseat 7, and perform in this way the above-mentioned pedicure operations. - When the
basin 19 is not used to such purpose, it is again covered by thetop element 26, to serve as footrest. - Otherwise, in case manicure operations are required, the activation means 13 are operated to rotate the
lid 11 and make accessible the workingcompartment 10 where the suitable accessories are stored. Similarly, thelid 11 offers, in the activated configuration, a support surface for the user easing the above-mentioned operations. - The work station reaches the scope of performing in the same location different kind of treatments such as for example washing, manicure, pedicure, cut, dyeing and styling.
- As a matter of facts, it is sufficient to rotate the chair with respect to the washbasin, approaching or spacing the washbasin and moving the mirror device with respect to the chair to easily perform specific types of treatments. The structure of the chair allows as well to perform more operations at the same time, such as pedicure and manicure, due to the extractable basin and the armrest equipped for the manicure, without asking the user to change position.
- A feature of the present invention is the fast change in the configuration of the station eased by the mobility of the chair, of the washbasin and of the mirror device as well as the versatility of the chair.
- A further advantageous aspect to be considered is that the station can be configured quickly according to the treatment to perform, without requiring to change location according to the treatment, with considerable saving of time both for the operators and for the users.
- A further feature of the invention is to lift the seat and the backrest along with the armrests and to adjust the inclination of the backrest, ensuring the comfort of the user during the use and increasing as well the comfort for the operators at work.
- In practice, the used materials as well as the size and shape may vary according to the needs.
- Should the technical characteristics mentioned in the claims be followed by reference signs, such reference signs were included for the sole purpose of increasing the understanding of the claims and thus they shall not be deemed limiting the scope of the element identified by such reference signs by way of example.
