Definitions
- Such hairdressing devices are known to those skilled in the art. It is also known that, in order for these devices to be able to function correctly and to give their users the expected result, namely a curling of a lock of hair, it is necessary to maintain and guide the lock of hair near the end of the hair. mandrel during their winding around the latter. To this end, several solutions have been proposed comprising a stop preventing the part of the lock of hair located near the end of the mandrel from rotating around the mandrel when the latter is wound up by the winder. For example documents FR2373986 or CN205612003 offer more or less flexible stops located perpendicular to the mandrel. This type of stopper effectively guides the lock of hair.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
- An objective of the invention is to provide a styling appliance for curling the hair making it possible to achieve lasting shaping of the hair.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a styling appliance for curling the hair which is inexpensive, simple to design and to manufacture.

- Another objective of the invention is to provide a hairstyling device for curling the hair which is particularly ergonomic, intuitive and simple to use.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a hairdressing appliance for curling the hair which is particularly robust and reliable.
- pin is meant a protuberance which extends longitudinally, such as for example a tooth, a point or a lug.
- distal end is meant the end of the mandrel which is located at a distance from the hand of the user who holds the hairstyling appliance, as will be detailed below.
- the lock of hair is placed between these different pins prior to its winding around the mandrel in order to prevent its rotation around the end of the mandrel and to allow its winding to be guided, in particular by fixing the lock in rotation near its root. This way, the lock of hair cannot roll up on itself.
- the retention and guidance of the lock of hair is improved when the latter is wound around the mandrel.
- this plurality of pins makes it possible, in the manner of a comb or a brush, to distribute the hair into small strands and to disentangle the latter. In fact, the lock of hair is evenly distributed and cannot twist on itself.
- the plurality of pins also allows the simultaneous and homogeneous winding of all the hair around the mandrel, thus avoiding the appearance of knots during winding.
- said immobilization device comprises at least three pins, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins.
- the lock of hair is then placed by the user between these pins and this quantity of pins also makes it possible to exert a slight tension on the lock of hair, prior to its winding around the mandrel which significantly improves the shaping of the lock of hair.
- each of the pins extends longitudinally between a base integral with said distal end and a top over a length of between 5 mm and 25 mm and preferably between 10 mm and 15 mm.
- the plurality of pins as well as a sufficient length of the latter remarkably prevent the lock of hair from unexpectedly leaving the immobilizer.
- the mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and each of said pins extends along a first longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, said first longitudinal axis passing through the center of said apex and the center of said base .
- top is preferably meant the free end of each pin and by base is preferably meant the part of the pins which is in contact with the mandrel.
- each of said pins extends in the same direction as the mandrel.
- This configuration thus makes it possible and easy to remove the lock of hair from the mold without presenting any obstacle or resistance.
- at least one of said pins and preferably each of said pins has a cross section which decreases from their base towards their top, which further makes it possible to facilitate the release of the lock of hair, in the manner of a corpse in a mold.
- the base of each of the pins is a circle and the pins are therefore in the form of a cone or a truncated cone.
- the tops of said pins are arranged coplanar in a plane forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel other than 90 °.
- this angle is between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °.
- the mandrel comprises a heating element designed to heat the lock of hair when the latter is wound around the mandrel so as to permanently fix the shaping and allow loops to be obtained.
- the mandrel comprises a cap made of thermal insulating material, said cap forming the distal end.
- each of the pins is made of polyphenylene sulphide so as to present an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, thermal resistance and relative flexibility.
- said device comprises a housing containing said mandrel.
- said mandrel but also preferably all of the components of the winding device is contained inside the case, which makes it possible to have a particularly compact device, safe for the user and robust. as long as the moving parts are protected by the housing.
- the housing comprises an upper opening and a lower opening interconnected by a facial opening.
- said upper and lower openings each comprise a slot or a notch. Said upper, lower and facial openings then allow the user to penetrate his lock of hair inside the housing so that it can be automatically caught by the winder and wound around the mandrel, according to an operating mode known as such.
- said spikes are located inside said housing and inside said facial opening.
- none of the pins protrude from the housing.
- said upper opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along an upper longitudinal axis
- said lower opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along a lower longitudinal axis
- said mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and said axes upper longitudinal, lower longitudinal axis and longitudinal axis of the mandrel are disposed coplanar in a plane of symmetry of the apparatus.
- the respective axes of the upper opening, the lower opening, the facial opening and the mandrel are all aligned on the same plane which advantageously passes through the middle of the apparatus and which constitutes a plane of symmetry of the device.
- the lock of hair can pass through the housing of the device by passing through the device for immobilizing the hair and more precisely by passing through the plurality of pins.
- the plurality of pins as well as the lower and upper openings then make it possible to guide the lock of hair when it is wound around the mandrel.
- At least one of said first longitudinal axis of the pins is disposed coplanar in said plane of symmetry of the device, that is to say is preferably aligned with the 'longitudinal axis of the mandrel, with the lower axis and with the upper axis.
- at least one of the pins is disposed on the median plane of the device containing the axes of said upper, facial and lower openings.
- median plane is advantageously meant a plane of symmetry of the apparatus.
- the apparatus comprises a housing 1, that is to say an envelope, intended to contain various components of the apparatus, and in particular a mandrel 21 as will be detailed in figures 5 to 9 .
- the housing 1 is hollow and comprises a free end 14 which is advantageously intended to be oriented substantially perpendicularly. with the user's head, and more particularly with his scalp at the time of the curling operation.
- the section of said housing 1 is substantially oval.
- the housing 1 forms inside a winding chamber 26 intended to accommodate the lock of hair, before its shaping, in an external (or upper) chamber 262, then after its shaping, in an internal chamber (or lower) 261, as will be detailed later and as can be seen on the figures 5 to 9 .
- the housing 1 comprises an upper opening 11 which extends from the free end 14 of the housing 1 towards the interior of the housing 1.
- the upper opening 11 comprises a slot or a notch whose length is between 10mm and 50mm, preferably between 20mm and 40mm and is advantageously substantially equal to 30mm.
- This upper opening 11 is designed to accommodate the lock of hair, in particular when the free end 14 is placed substantially perpendicular to the user's head.
- the upper opening 11 is placed against the scalp of the user so as to be able to accommodate the lock of hair.
- the housing 1 also comprises a lower opening 12 which extends from the free end 14 of the housing 1 towards the interior of the housing 1.
- the lower opening 12 comprises a slot or a notch whose length is greater than the length of said upper opening 11.
- the length of the lower opening 12 is between 50mm and 120mm, preferably between 50mm and 90mm and is advantageously substantially equal to 80mm.
- the latter comprises at least one rectangular section.
- said lower opening 12 is in the form of a T-shaped notch reversed from the free end 14. The particular shape of this notch makes it possible, quite particularly when the lock of hair is placed in the “small bar” of the T , to keep the lock of hair at the bottom of this lower opening 12, and to optimize the guiding of the latter during its winding.
- said upper 11 and lower 12 openings are then interconnected by a facial opening 13.
- the upper 11, lower 12 and face 13 openings together form an opening making it possible to receive a lock of hair and to guide the latter during its winding around the mandrel.
- Said facial opening 13 comprises a blind hole made from the free end 14 of the housing 1 and connecting said upper 11 and lower 12 openings.
- the apparatus also includes a handle 3 attached to said housing 1 designed to allow a user to hold the apparatus in his hand.
- the housing 1 extends from the handle at a slight angle.
- the housing 1 is neither perpendicular (right angle of 90 °) to the handle nor completely in the extension thereof (flat angle of 180 °).
- the axis of the housing 1 forms with the axis of the handle an angle substantially equal to 160 °. Thanks to this angle, the ergonomics of the device is optimized since it is possible for the user to apply the housing 1 and in particular the upper opening 11 against his head, so that the free end 14 is substantially perpendicular to his head, while holding the device by the handle 3 and this while leaving his wrist in a natural position.
- the device also comprises a trigger 4 intended to control the setting in rotation and / or the stopping of the device and in particular the setting in rotation and / or stopping of a motor 23 as will be detailed by after.
- This trigger 4 preferably extends over substantially the entire length of the handle 3 thus facilitating its activation by any finger of the hand or even by all the fingers.
- the apparatus further comprises one or more control buttons 5 allowing the user to adjust various parameters of the apparatus, such as, for example, by way of illustration and without limitation, to select the direction of rotation of the motor 23, the temperature of the mandrel 21 or also the length of time the lock of hair is kept heated around mandrel 21.
- said control buttons are located on the side of handle 3 and are separate from trigger 4.
- the apparatus comprises a winding device 2 designed to automatically wind a lock of hair and allow the creation of loops.
- the winding device 2 comprises a mandrel 21, or winding drum, which extends longitudinally between a proximal end 211 advantageously attached to the housing 1 or to the handle 3 (that is to say an end situated close to of the user's hand) and an advantageously free distal end 212 (that is to say an end located at a distance from the user's hand).
- said mandrel 21 is of cylindrical shape.
- the mandrel 21 is fixed and advantageously comprises a heating element 214, for example of the PTC type. It is in fact known that a heating mandrel makes it possible to improve the shaping of the hair and in particular to produce curls.
- the mandrel 21 comprises a cap 213 made of thermal insulating material, said cap then forming the distal end 212.
- the winding device 2 also comprises a winder 22 configured to wind a lock of hair around the mandrel 21 during its rotation in a predetermined direction
- the reel 22 is hollow and has a shape of revolution.
- the reel 22 is positioned coaxially around the mandrel 21.
- This reel 22 has a first longitudinal end 223 which is secured to a toothed wheel 242.
- This toothed wheel 242 meshes with a worm 241 which is driven in rotation by a motor 23, which makes it possible to drive the rotation of the reel 22.
- the direction of rotation of the motor 23 is advantageously reversible, which makes it possible to reverse the direction of rotation of the reel 22.
- the motor 23, the wheel toothed 242 and the worm 241 constitute a preferred method of designing means for driving in rotation 24 of the reel 22, other variants remaining possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the reel 22 preferably has a conical shape which extends in expansion towards the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- the reel 22 comprises a notch 221, or cutout, which extends over its surface of revolution and which opens onto a free edge 2241 at a second longitudinal end 224 of said reel 22.
- This notch 221 preferably comprises a shape trapezoidal, other shapes remaining possible, for example a more or less cylindrical or oval shape.
- the reel 22 may have a surface of revolution of cylindrical rather than conical shape.
- the reel can also be in the form of two wings which would extend from the first longitudinal end 223. Two hooks 222 are arranged vis-à-vis in the extension of the free edge 2241, at the two ends of the 'notch 221.
- the notch 221 is positioned in the extension of the lower opening 12, such as 'illustrated in figures 6 to 8 , which allows to introduce the lock of hair in the notch 221 of the reel 22.
- the rotational drive of the reel 22 then allows one of the two hooks 222, depending on the direction of rotation of the motor 23, to grab the wick to start winding it.
- the lock of hair will then pass from the external (or upper) chamber 262 located between the external surface of the winder 22 and the internal surface of the housing 1 to the internal (or lower) chamber 261 located between the internal face of the winder 22 and the outer face of the mandrel 21, passing through the notch 221 of the winder 22.
- the apparatus also comprises a hair immobilization device 25 disposed at the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- This hair immobilization device 25 comprises a plurality of pins 251 projecting from the end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- This immobilizer 25 has several functions. First of all, the immobilization device 25 enables the guiding of the lock of hair during its winding so as to prevent the lock from rotating around the end of the mandrel 21. In addition, this immobilization device 25 allows the curly lock to be released from the mold without damaging it. When the winder 22 is rotated, the latter carries the lock of hair which remains guided on one of the pins 251 of the immobilization device 25, forcing it to wrap around the mandrel 21. The direction of the loops produced therefore depends on the direction of rotation of the reel 22. However, a single direction of looping could be provided without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the figure 9 shows a detailed view of the hair immobilization device 25.
- Said immobilization device 25 comprises at least three pins 251, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins.
- the immobilization device 25 comprises 17 pins evenly distributed over the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- the multitude of pins makes it possible to optimize the retention and the guidance of the drill bit during its winding.
- the end of the mandrel 21 can then be likened to a brush which would make it possible, quite remarkably, to disentangle the hair beforehand before they are curled and to avoid knots when making the loops.
- Each of the pins 251 extends longitudinally between a base 2511 integral with said distal end 212 and an apex 2512 over a length of between 10 mm and 15 mm. In other words, the length of the pins 251 varies between 10 and 15 mm. Indifferently, the length of each of the pins 251 can be uniform or on the contrary vary without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Each of said pins 251 extends along a first longitudinal axis Lp parallel to a longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21, said first longitudinal axis Lp passing through the center of said apex 2512 and the center of said base 2511. The cross section of each of said pins 251 decreases from their base 2511 to their top 2512.
- each pin 251 is a circle. According to this embodiment, each pin therefore has a shape of revolution, and in particular a cone or truncated cone. We could of course imagine other shapes such as pyramidal, parallelepipedic, cylindrical, etc. without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the vertices 2512 of the pins 251 are arranged coplanar in a plane Pp forming an angle ⁇ with the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21 other than 90 °, advantageously between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °. In other words, not all pins 251 have the same length, as can be seen on the figure 5 .
- the length of the pins varies progressively, from a maximum length for the pins 251 located near the upper opening 11 substantially equal to 20mm to a minimum length for the pins 251 located near the lower opening 12 substantially equal to 15mm. This decrease in the length of the pins 251 from the upper opening 11 towards the lower opening 12 makes it possible in particular to grip and guide the bit from its base (that is to say near its root).
- Each of the pins 251 is made of polysulphide of phenylene (PPS), this material exhibiting remarkable properties, and in particular mechanical strength and thermal resistance.
- PPS polysulphide of phenylene
- the temperature of the pins does not exceed 70 ° C while the temperature of the mandrel is generally between 160 ° C and 230 ° C.
- said pins 251 are located inside said housing 1 and inside said facial opening 13.
- the immobilization device 25 is completely located inside the housing 1 while remaining accessible. to the user through said upper 11, lower 12 and facial openings 13.
- This construction makes it possible to protect the immobilization device 25 and in particular the pins 251 and to limit the risk of breakage in the event of the device falling.
- the risk of burns and injury to the user in the event of incorrect handling of the device is also reduced insofar as no sharp element protrudes from the housing 1 of the device.
- This alignment of the different openings allows the user to penetrate the lock of hair that he wishes to shape inside the box 1 and then place the box 1 close to, or even in contact, with his head, and more precisely with his scalp.
- the figures 1 and 2 show that at least one of said first longitudinal axis Lp of the pins 251 is aligned with the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21, with the lower axis L I and with the upper axis Ls.
- at least one pin 251 is aligned with the axis of said upper 11, lower 12 and face 13 openings and with the longitudinal axis L M of mandrel 21.
- the lock of hair will therefore necessarily encounter an obstacle, in this case at least one pin 251, so that the lock of hair will not be perfectly straight between said upper opening 11 and said lower opening 12.
- the lock of hair is not perfectly aligned with the median plane of the apparatus, that is to say the plane passing through the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21 and through the axes of the upper 11 and lower openings 12. Consequently, when the lock of hair is caught by one of the hooks 222 of the reel 22 as explained above, it begins to wind around the mandrel 21. Therefore the lock of hair slides inside the various openings e t rubs against at least one pin 251, and advantageously against several, which has the effect of exerting a slight traction on the lock of hair. This traction makes it possible in particular to disentangle the hair and to smooth the lock of hair. In other words, a mechanical treatment of the tension type is applied to the lock of hair prior to its winding around the mandrel 21.
- the user After having grasped the device in one of his hands by the handle 3 of the device, the user orients the device so that the free end 14 of the housing 1 faces upwards. Then, the user positions the device against his head, and more preferably places the upper opening 11 against his scalp. So that the free end 14 is found substantially perpendicular to the user's head. Then, the user introduces a lock of hair between the reel 22 and the mandrel 21. More precisely, the user introduces through said upper 11, lower 12 and facial 13 openings a lock of hair inside the housing 1. of the device. The lock of hair thus passes through the housing 1 entering the housing 1 through the upper opening 11, through the facial opening 13 and out through the lower opening 12.
- the lock of hair is thus positioned in the reel 22, more exactly in its notch 221 and is therefore found between the reel 22 and the mandrel 21.
- the user will also position the lock of hair between the pins 251 which will in particular have the effect of properly guiding the lock in rotation, in particular to prevent it from rotating around the end of the mandrel when it is being wound up.
- the user will be able to rotate said reel 22 in a predetermined direction, in particular using a control button 5 (for example to select the direction of rotation of the motor 23 and therefore of the reel 22) and / or the trigger 4 to set the motor 23 and therefore the reel 22.
- the reel will then grip the bit and according to a process known as such, automatically wind it around the mandrel 21.
- the guiding of the lock during this automatic winding is then remarkably optimized in particular because the lock slides, under the effect of the winder 22, between the pins 251 of the device 25 for immobilizing the hair. .
- This passage between the pins 251 makes it possible, as was detailed previously, on the one hand to exert a slight traction on the hair, which makes it possible to disentangle them, to keep them taut, and to avoid any risk of knots during automatic winding, and on the other hand to correctly guide the hair to prevent them from twisting or turning around the end of the mandrel 21.

De tels appareils de coiffure sont connus de l'homme du métier. On sait également que, pour que ces appareils puissent fonctionner correctement et donner à leurs utilisateurs le résultat attendu, à savoir un bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux, il est nécessaire de maintenir et guider la mèche de cheveux à proximité de l'extrémité du mandrin lors de leur enroulement autour de ce dernier. A cette fin, il a été proposé plusieurs solutions comprenant une butée empêchant la partie de la mèche de cheveux située à proximité de l'extrémité du mandrin de tourner autour du mandrin lorsque cette dernière est enroulée par l'enrouleur. Par exemple les documents
Afin de résoudre ce problème et de faciliter le démoulage de la mèche de cheveux mise en forme autour du mandrin, il a été proposé de rendre mobile le premier type de butée, mais cette mobilité impose des solutions mécaniques complexes, onéreuses et parfois peu fiables.In order to solve this problem and to facilitate the release of the lock of hair shaped around the mandrel, it has been proposed to make the first type of stopper mobile, but this mobility imposes complex mechanical solutions, expensive and sometimes unreliable.
Il a également été proposé par la demande de brevet
La présente invention a pour objectif de pallier les inconvénients précités.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
Un objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux permettant de réaliser une mise en forme de cheveux durable.An objective of the invention is to provide a styling appliance for curling the hair making it possible to achieve lasting shaping of the hair.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux qui soit peu couteux, simple à concevoir et à fabriquer. Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux qui soit particulièrement sûr et sans danger pour l'utilisateur.Another objective of the invention is to provide a styling appliance for curling the hair which is inexpensive, simple to design and to manufacture. Another objective of the invention is to provide a hairdressing appliance for curling hair which is particularly safe and harmless to the user.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux qui soit particulièrement ergonomique, intuitif et simple à utiliser.Another objective of the invention is to provide a hairstyling device for curling the hair which is particularly ergonomic, intuitive and simple to use.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux qui soit particulièrement robuste et fiable.Another objective of the invention is to provide a hairdressing appliance for curling the hair which is particularly robust and reliable.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux comprenant un dispositif d'enroulement comportant ;
- un mandrin,
- un enrouleur configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé,
- un moteur destiné à mettre en rotation ledit enrouleur
- un dispositif d'immobilisation des cheveux disposé à une extrémité distale du mandrin,
- a chuck,
- a winder configured to wind a lock of hair around the mandrel as it rotates in a predetermined direction,
- a motor intended to rotate said reel
- a device for immobilizing the hair arranged at a distal end of the mandrel,
Par picot on entend une excroissance qui s'étend longitudinalement, comme par exemple une dent, une pointe ou encore un ergot. Par extrémité distale on entend l'extrémité du mandrin qui est située à distance de la main de l'utilisateur qui tient l'appareil de coiffure, comme cela sera détaillé par la suite. La mèche de cheveux est placée entre ces différents picots préalablement à son enroulement autour du mandrin afin d'empêcher sa rotation autour de l'extrémité du mandrin et de permettre de guider son enroulement, en particulier en fixant en rotation la mèche à proximité de sa racine. De cette manière, la mèche de cheveux ne peut pas s'enrouler sur elle-même. Ainsi, grâce à l'invention et en particulier à la pluralité de picots, le maintien et le guidage de la mèche de cheveux est amélioré au moment de l'enroulement de cette dernière autour du mandrin. En outre, cette pluralité de picots permet, à la manière d'un peigne ou d'une brosse, de répartir les cheveux en petites mèches et de démêler ces derniers. En effet, la mèche de cheveux est répartie de façon homogène et ne peut pas vriller sur elle-même. La pluralité de picots permet en outre l'enroulement simultané et homogène de tous les cheveux autour du mandrin, évitant ainsi l'apparition de nœuds lors de l'enroulement.By pin is meant a protuberance which extends longitudinally, such as for example a tooth, a point or a lug. By distal end is meant the end of the mandrel which is located at a distance from the hand of the user who holds the hairstyling appliance, as will be detailed below. The lock of hair is placed between these different pins prior to its winding around the mandrel in order to prevent its rotation around the end of the mandrel and to allow its winding to be guided, in particular by fixing the lock in rotation near its root. This way, the lock of hair cannot roll up on itself. Thus, thanks to the invention and in particular to the plurality of pins, the retention and guidance of the lock of hair is improved when the latter is wound around the mandrel. In addition, this plurality of pins makes it possible, in the manner of a comb or a brush, to distribute the hair into small strands and to disentangle the latter. In fact, the lock of hair is evenly distributed and cannot twist on itself. The plurality of pins also allows the simultaneous and homogeneous winding of all the hair around the mandrel, thus avoiding the appearance of knots during winding.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, ledit dispositif d'immobilisation comprend au moins trois picots, préférentiellement au moins 10 picots et avantageusement entre 15 et 20 picots. Lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil, la mèche de cheveux est alors placée par l'utilisateur entre ces picots et cette quantité de picots permet en outre d'exercer une légère tension sur la mèche de cheveux, préalablement à son enroulement autour du mandrin ce qui permet d'améliorer sensiblement la mise en forme de la mèche de cheveux.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said immobilization device comprises at least three pins, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins. When using the device, the lock of hair is then placed by the user between these pins and this quantity of pins also makes it possible to exert a slight tension on the lock of hair, prior to its winding around the mandrel which significantly improves the shaping of the lock of hair.
Dans une variante de l'invention, chacun des picots s'étend longitudinalement entre une base solidaire de ladite extrémité distale et un sommet sur une longueur comprise entre 5 mm et 25 mm et de préférence entre 10 mm et 15 mm. La pluralité des picots ainsi qu'une longueur suffisante de ces derniers empêchent remarquablement la mèche de cheveux de quitter inopinément le dispositif d'immobilisation. Selon cette variante, le mandrin s'étend selon un axe longitudinal et chacun desdits picots s'étend selon un premier axe longitudinal parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du mandrin, ledit premier axe longitudinal passant par le centre dudit sommet et le centre de ladite base. Par sommet on entend préférentiellement l'extrémité libre de chaque picot et par base on entend préférentiellement la partie des picots qui est en contact avec le mandrin. En d'autres termes, chacun desdits picots s'étend dans la même direction que le mandrin. Cette configuration rend ainsi possible et facile l'opération de démoulage de la mèche de cheveux en ne présentant aucun obstacle, aucune résistance. En outre, il est particulièrement intuitif pour l'utilisateur de retirer l'appareil en le reculant par rapport à sa tête. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, au moins l'un desdits picots et de préférence chacun desdits picots présente une section transversale qui est décroissante depuis leur base vers leur sommet ce qui permet encore de faciliter le démoulage de la mèche de cheveux, à la manière d'une dépouille dans un moule. Préférentiellement, la base de chacun des picots est un cercle et les picots se présentent donc sous la forme d'un cône ou d'un tronc de cône. Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux de cette variante de l'invention, les sommets desdits picots sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan formant un angle avec l'axe longitudinal du mandrin différent de 90°. En d'autres termes, les sommets des différents picots sont contenus dans un plan qui n'est pas parallèle à l'extrémité du mandrin. Avantageusement cet angle est compris entre 85° et 60° et de préférence égal à 75°.In a variant of the invention, each of the pins extends longitudinally between a base integral with said distal end and a top over a length of between 5 mm and 25 mm and preferably between 10 mm and 15 mm. The plurality of pins as well as a sufficient length of the latter remarkably prevent the lock of hair from unexpectedly leaving the immobilizer. According to this variant, the mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and each of said pins extends along a first longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, said first longitudinal axis passing through the center of said apex and the center of said base . By top is preferably meant the free end of each pin and by base is preferably meant the part of the pins which is in contact with the mandrel. In other words, each of said pins extends in the same direction as the mandrel. This configuration thus makes it possible and easy to remove the lock of hair from the mold without presenting any obstacle or resistance. In addition, it is particularly intuitive for the user to remove the device by moving it back from his head. Particularly advantageously, at least one of said pins and preferably each of said pins has a cross section which decreases from their base towards their top, which further makes it possible to facilitate the release of the lock of hair, in the manner of a corpse in a mold. Preferably, the base of each of the pins is a circle and the pins are therefore in the form of a cone or a truncated cone. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of this variant of the invention, the tops of said pins are arranged coplanar in a plane forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel other than 90 °. In other words, the tops of the various pins are contained in a plane which is not parallel to the end of the mandrel. Advantageously, this angle is between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °.
Dans une variante préférentielle de l'invention, le mandrin comprend un élément chauffant conçu pour chauffer la mèche de cheveux lorsque celle-ci est enroulée autour du mandrin de manière à fixer durablement la mise en forme et permettre l'obtention de boucles. De manière avantageuse, le mandrin comprend un capuchon en matériau isolant thermique, ledit capuchon formant l'extrémité distale. Ainsi, grâce à cette construction le cuir chevelu de l'utilisateur est protégé de tout risque de brûlure.In a preferred variant of the invention, the mandrel comprises a heating element designed to heat the lock of hair when the latter is wound around the mandrel so as to permanently fix the shaping and allow loops to be obtained. Advantageously, the mandrel comprises a cap made of thermal insulating material, said cap forming the distal end. Thus, thanks to this construction, the user's scalp is protected from any risk of burns.
Dans une autre variante de l'invention, qui peut bien entendue être combinée avec l'une des variantes précédentes, chacun des picots est réalisé en polysulfure de phénylène de manière à présenter un excellent compromis entre résistance mécanique, résistance thermique et relative souplesse.In another variant of the invention, which can of course be combined with one of the preceding variants, each of the pins is made of polyphenylene sulphide so as to present an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, thermal resistance and relative flexibility.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, ledit appareil comprend un boîtier contenant ledit mandrin. En d'autres termes, ledit mandrin, mais également de manière préférentielle l'ensemble des composants du dispositif d'enroulement est contenu à l'intérieur du boîtier ce qui permet d'avoir un appareil particulièrement compact, sûr pour l'utilisateur et robuste dans la mesure où les pièces en mouvement sont protégées par le boîtier. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le boîtier comprend une ouverture supérieure et une ouverture inférieure reliées entre elles par une ouverture faciale. Préférentiellement lesdites ouvertures supérieure et inférieure comprennent chacune une fente ou une encoche. Lesdites ouvertures supérieure, inférieure et faciale permettent alors à l'utilisateur de faire pénétrer sa mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boîtier pour que celle-ci puisse être automatiquement attrapée par l'enrouleur et enroulée autour du mandrin, selon un mode de fonctionnement connu en tant que tel. Préférentiellement, lesdits picots sont situés à l'intérieur dudit boîtier et à l'intérieur de ladite ouverture faciale. En d'autres termes aucun des picots ne dépasse du boîtier. Cet agencement particulier des picots à l'intérieur du boîtier permet de protéger ces derniers en cas de chute de l'appareil et de limiter leur risque de casse. De manière avantageuse, ladite ouverture supérieure s'étend longitudinalement depuis ladite ouverture faciale selon un axe longitudinal supérieur, ladite ouverture inférieure s'étend longitudinalement depuis ladite ouverture faciale selon un axe longitudinal inférieur, ledit mandrin s'étend selon un axe longitudinal et lesdits axe longitudinal supérieur, axe longitudinal inférieur et axe longitudinal du mandrin sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. En d'autres termes, les axes respectifs de l'ouverture supérieure, de l'ouverture inférieure, de l'ouverture faciale et du mandrin sont tous alignés sur un même plan qui passe avantageusement par le milieu de l'appareil et qui constitue un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. Ainsi la mèche de cheveux peut traverser le boîtier de l'appareil en passant au travers du dispositif d'immobilisation des cheveux et plus précisément en passant au travers de la pluralité de picots. La pluralité de picots ainsi que les ouvertures inférieure et supérieure permettent alors de guider la mèche de cheveux lors de son enroulement autour du mandrin. Dans une mise en œuvre préférentielle de ce mode de réalisation, au moins l'un desdits premier axe longitudinal des picots est disposé de façon coplanaire dans ledit plan de symétrie de l'appareil, c'est-à-dire est préférentiellement aligné avec l'axe longitudinal du mandrin, avec l'axe inférieur et avec l'axe supérieur. En d'autres termes, au moins l'un des picots est disposé sur le plan médian de l'appareil contenant les axes desdites ouvertures supérieure, faciale et inférieure. Par plan médian on entend avantageusement un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. Une telle construction permet de manière remarquable de toujours créer une légère tension dans la mèche de cheveux avant son enroulement autour du mandrin, la mèche de cheveux passant par l'ouverture supérieure et l'ouverture inférieure. Cette légère tension sur la mèche de cheveux permet de supprimer les éventuels nœuds présents dans cette dernière et également de garantir un bon enroulement autour du mandrin.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said device comprises a housing containing said mandrel. In other words, said mandrel, but also preferably all of the components of the winding device is contained inside the case, which makes it possible to have a particularly compact device, safe for the user and robust. as long as the moving parts are protected by the housing. According to this embodiment, the housing comprises an upper opening and a lower opening interconnected by a facial opening. Preferably, said upper and lower openings each comprise a slot or a notch. Said upper, lower and facial openings then allow the user to penetrate his lock of hair inside the housing so that it can be automatically caught by the winder and wound around the mandrel, according to an operating mode known as such. Preferably, said spikes are located inside said housing and inside said facial opening. In other words, none of the pins protrude from the housing. This particular arrangement of the pins inside the case makes it possible to protect the latter in the event of the device falling and to limit their risk of breakage. Advantageously, said upper opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along an upper longitudinal axis, said lower opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along a lower longitudinal axis, said mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and said axes upper longitudinal, lower longitudinal axis and longitudinal axis of the mandrel are disposed coplanar in a plane of symmetry of the apparatus. In other words, the respective axes of the upper opening, the lower opening, the facial opening and the mandrel are all aligned on the same plane which advantageously passes through the middle of the apparatus and which constitutes a plane of symmetry of the device. Thus the lock of hair can pass through the housing of the device by passing through the device for immobilizing the hair and more precisely by passing through the plurality of pins. The plurality of pins as well as the lower and upper openings then make it possible to guide the lock of hair when it is wound around the mandrel. In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, at least one of said first longitudinal axis of the pins is disposed coplanar in said plane of symmetry of the device, that is to say is preferably aligned with the 'longitudinal axis of the mandrel, with the lower axis and with the upper axis. In other words, at least one of the pins is disposed on the median plane of the device containing the axes of said upper, facial and lower openings. By median plane is advantageously meant a plane of symmetry of the apparatus. Such a construction remarkably makes it possible to always create a slight tension in the lock of hair before it is wound around the mandrel, the lock of hair passing through the upper opening and the lower opening. This slight tension on the lock of hair makes it possible to remove any knots present in the latter and also to guarantee a good winding around the mandrel.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, qui pourrait constituer une invention à part entière, l'appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux comprend un dispositif d'enroulement comportant ;
- un mandrin,
- un enrouleur configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé, ledit enrouleur ayant une surface externe de révolution, l'enrouleur comprenant une encoche qui s'étend sur sa surface de révolution parallèlement audit mandrin,

Préférentiellement, lesdits boutons de commande sont situés sur le côté de la poignée 3 et sont distincts de la gâchette 4.The apparatus further comprises one or

Le dispositif d'enroulement 2 comporte un mandrin 21 , ou tambour d'enroulement, qui s'étend longitudinalement entre une extrémité proximale 211 avantageusement attachée au boîtier 1 ou à la poignée 3 (c'est-à-dire une extrémité située à proximité de la main de l'utilisateur) et une extrémité distale 212 avantageusement libre (c'est-à-dire une extrémité située à distance de la main de l'utilisateur). Préférentiellement ledit mandrin 21 est de forme cylindrique. Le mandrin 21 est fixe et comprend avantageusement un élément chauffant 214, par exemple du type CTP. Il est en effet connu qu'un mandrin chauffant permet d'améliorer la mise en forme des cheveux et en particulier de réaliser des boucles. Préférentiellement, afin de limiter le risque de brûlure du cuir chevelu ou même des doigts de l'utilisateur, le mandrin 21 comprend un capuchon 213 en matériau isolant thermique, ledit capuchon formant alors l'extrémité distale 212.The winding
Le dispositif d'enroulement 2 comprend également un enrouleur 22 configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin 21 lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé Comme l'illustrent les
Tel qu'illustré en
En position de démarrage de l'appareil, et cela peut d'ailleurs constituer une invention en tant que telle, au début de l'opération de bouclage, l'encoche 221 est positionnée dans le prolongement de l'ouverture inférieure 12, tel qu'illustré en
Le fonctionnement d'un tel enrouleur est connu en tant que tel, et est par exemple connu du produit commercialisé par la demanderesse sous le nom de « So Curls » ® (marque déposée). Un mode de fonctionnement de ce type d'appareil est également décrit dans la demande de brevet n°
L'appareil comprend également un dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux disposé à l'extrémité distale 212 du mandrin 21. Ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux comprend une pluralité de picots 251 faisant saillie à l'extrémité 212 du mandrin 21. Ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 présente plusieurs fonctions. Tout d'abord, le dispositif d'immobilisation 25 permet de réaliser le guidage de la mèche de cheveux durant son enroulement de manière à éviter que la mèche ne tourne autour de l'extrémité du mandrin 21. En outre, ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 permet le démoulage de la mèche bouclée sans la détériorer. Lors de l'entraînement en rotation de l'enrouleur 22, celui-ci emporte la mèche de cheveux qui reste guidée sur l'un des picots 251 du dispositif d'immobilisation 25, l'obligeant à s'enrouler autour du mandrin 21. Le sens des boucles réalisées dépend donc du sens de rotation de l'enrouleur 22. On pourrait toutefois prévoir un seul sens de bouclage sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The apparatus also comprises a

Les sommets 2512 des picots 251 sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan Pp formant un angle α avec l'axe longitudinal LM du mandrin 21 différent de 90°, avantageusement compris entre 85° et 60° et de préférence égal à 75°. En d'autres termes, tous les picots 251 n'ont pas la même longueur, comme on peut le voir sur la
The
Chacun des picots 251 est réalisé en polysulfure de phénylène (PPS), ce matériau présentant de remarquables propriétés, et en particulier de résistance mécanique et de résistance thermique. Préférentiellement la température des picots n'excède pas 70 °C tandis que la température du mandrin est généralement comprise entre 160 °C et 230 °C.Each of the

Cet alignement des différentes ouvertures permet à l'utilisateur de faire pénétrer la mèche de cheveux qu'il souhaite mettre en forme à l'intérieur du boîtier 1 puis de placer le boîtier 1 à proximité, voire en contact, avec sa tête, et plus précisément avec son cuir chevelu.This alignment of the different openings allows the user to penetrate the lock of hair that he wishes to shape inside the
Les
Le procédé d'utilisation et plus particulièrement le procédé de mise en place d'une mèche de cheveux dans l'appareil va maintenant être décrit.
Pour réaliser le bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux, l'utilisateur de l'appareil illustré sur les différentes figures procède comme suit.The method of use and more particularly the method of placing a lock of hair in the device will now be described.
To achieve the curling of a lock of hair, the user of the device illustrated in the various figures proceeds as follows.
Après avoir saisi l'appareil dans l'une de ses mains par la poignée 3 de l'appareil, l'utilisateur oriente l'appareil de sorte que l'extrémité libre 14 du boitier 1 soit orientée vers le haut. Puis, l'utilisateur vient positionner l'appareil contre sa tête, et plus préférentiellement vient placer l'ouverture supérieure 11 contre son cuir chevelu. De sorte que l'extrémité libre 14 se retrouve sensiblement perpendiculaire à la tête de l'utilisateur. Ensuite, l'utilisateur introduit une mèche de cheveux entre l'enrouleur 22 et le mandrin 21. Plus précisément, l'utilisateur introduit au travers desdites ouvertures supérieure 11, inférieure 12 et faciale 13 une mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boîtier 1 de l'appareil. La mèche de cheveux traverse ainsi le boîtier 1 en entrant dans le boîtier 1 par l'ouverture supérieure 11, par l'ouverture faciale 13 et en ressortant par l'ouverture inférieure 12. Compte tenu de l'alignement des différents axes desdites ouvertures supérieure 11 et supérieure 12 et de l'encoche 221 de l'enrouleur 22, la mèche de cheveux est donc ainsi positionnée dans l'enrouleur 22, plus exactement dans son encoche 221 et se retrouve donc entre l'enrouleur 22 et le mandrin 21. Au cours de l'insertion de la mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boitier 1, l'utilisateur va également positionner la mèche de cheveux entre les picots 251 ce qui va notamment avoir pour effet de bien guider la mèche en rotation, en particulier de l'empêcher de tourner autour de l'extrémité du mandrin lors de son enroulement. Ensuite, l'utilisateur va pouvoir mettre en rotation ledit enrouleur 22 dans un sens prédéterminé notamment à l'aide d'un bouton de commande 5 (par exemple pour sélectionner le sens de rotation du moteur 23 et donc de l'enrouleur 22) et / ou de la gâchette 4 pour mettre en rotation le moteur 23 et donc l'enrouleur 22. L'enrouleur va alors agripper la mèche et selon un processus connu en tant que tel, l'enrouler automatiquement autour du mandrin 21.After having grasped the device in one of his hands by the
Grâce à l'invention, le guidage de la mèche lors de cet enroulement automatique est alors remarquablement optimisé notamment du fait que la mèche coulisse, sous l'effet de l'enrouleur 22, entre les picots 251 du dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux. Ce passage entre les picots 251 permet, comme cela a été détaillé précédemment, d'une part d'exercer une légère traction sur les cheveux, ce qui permet de les démêler, de les maintenir tendus, et d'éviter tout risque de nœuds lors de l'enroulement automatique, et d'autre part de guider correctement les cheveux pour éviter qu'ils ne vrillent ou tournent autour de l'extrémité du mandrin 21.Thanks to the invention, the guiding of the lock during this automatic winding is then remarkably optimized in particular because the lock slides, under the effect of the
