It should be understood that the upper shell 109 and the lower shell 111 may be made into more or fewer pieces than in the illustrated embodiment, and the boundary between the multiple pieces of the case may be changed. In addition, the configuration of the shell may be different from that shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 if necessary. The upper case 109 and the lower case 111 are configured so that they can be fastened to each other (for example, by screws 113 or other fasteners) to form the main body 103 and the handle 105. The main body 103 and the handle 105 preferably have a hollow interior space 115 for reasons that will become apparent.
參看圖4及圖5，主體103宜具有在主體103之相對側上的一對較窄側123之間延伸的較寬側121。較窄側123在較寬側121之相對側上。較寬側121之寬度W1比較窄側123之寬度W2寬。在所示實施例中，較窄側123之寬度大致相等，但應理解，此並非必要的。主體103之較寬側121的寬度W1宜至少約2吋。主體103之長度L1宜至少約4吋。為了量測主體103之長度L1，將長度L1定義為該主體的與柄105相對之末端與離該末端最遠的造型元件107之間的距離。如圖1中所示，主體103之較寬側121宜為實質上平坦的。 4 and 5, the main body 103 preferably has a wider side 121 extending between a pair of narrower sides 123 on opposite sides of the main body 103. The narrower side 123 is on the opposite side of the wider side 121. The width W1 of the wider side 121 is wider than the width W2 of the narrow side 123. In the illustrated embodiment, the widths of the narrower sides 123 are approximately equal, but it should be understood that this is not necessary. The width W1 of the wider side 121 of the main body 103 is preferably at least about 2 inches. The length L1 of the main body 103 is preferably at least about 4 inches. In order to measure the length L1 of the main body 103, the length L1 is defined as the distance between the end of the main body opposite to the handle 105 and the modeling element 107 furthest from the end. As shown in FIG. 1, the wider side 121 of the main body 103 is preferably substantially flat.
複數個頭髮造型元件107安裝於主體之較寬側121上。在圖1至圖9中所示之實施例中，所有造型元件107均在主體103之較寬側121上。頭髮造型元件107中之一些宜為附加至主體103之固定頭髮造型元件125。舉例而言，固定頭髮造型元件125中之一些或全部宜附加至主體103之較寬側121。有各種方式用於將固定頭髮造型元件125附加至主體103。參看圖7，舉例而言，固定頭髮造型元件125中之幾個或全部宜安裝於基座127上，該基座支撐多個固定頭髮造型元件。在所示實施例中，存在幾個基座127，其中每一基座承載至少兩個固定頭 髮造型元件。基座127位於主體103內部，使得固定頭髮造型元件125延伸穿過下殼111中之開口129。因此，固定頭髮造型元件125之遠端延伸遠離頭髮造型裝置101之本體103。基座127藉由上殼109及下殼111捕獲在頭髮造型裝置101之內部空間115內部且藉此將固定頭髮造型元件保持在本體103上。熟習設計及/或製造頭髮造型裝置技術者將熟悉用於將固定造型元件附加至頭髮造型裝置之主體的若干其他選項，其中任一選項可用於替代所示實施例中之安排。 A plurality of hair styling elements 107 are mounted on the wider side 121 of the main body. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, all the styling elements 107 are on the wider side 121 of the main body 103. Some of the hair styling elements 107 are preferably fixed hair styling elements 125 attached to the main body 103. For example, some or all of the fixed hair styling elements 125 may be attached to the wider side 121 of the main body 103. There are various ways for attaching the fixed hair styling element 125 to the main body 103. Referring to FIG. 7, for example, several or all of the fixed hair styling elements 125 are preferably mounted on a base 127 that supports a plurality of fixed hair styling elements. In the embodiment shown, there are several bases 127, each of which carries at least two fixing heads Hair styling elements. The base 127 is located inside the main body 103 so that the fixed hair styling element 125 extends through the opening 129 in the lower case 111. Therefore, the distal end of the fixed hair styling element 125 extends away from the body 103 of the hair styling device 101. The base 127 is captured inside the internal space 115 of the hair styling device 101 by the upper case 109 and the lower case 111 and thereby holds the fixed hair styling element on the body 103. Those skilled in designing and / or manufacturing hair styling devices will be familiar with several other options for attaching fixed styling elements to the body of the hair styling device, any of which may be used in place of the arrangements in the illustrated embodiment.
頭髮造型元件107中之至少一些為安裝於主體103上以便相對於該主體移動的可移動頭髮造型元件135。舉例而言，可移動頭髮造型元件135宜相對於主體103可旋轉。參看圖1、圖3、圖5及圖7，複數個轉台137(寬泛言之，可旋轉基座)安裝於主體103上以便轉台相對於主體繞旋轉軸139旋轉。雖然可旋轉基座137在所示實施例中呈轉台之形式，但應理解，若需要，可旋轉基座可具有其他形狀及組態(例如，圓頂形或半球形)。轉台137宜安裝於主體103的在其較窄側123之間的較寬側121上。參看圖5，轉台137宜安排成大體上沿主體103之縱軸143延伸的線性組態。舉例而言，轉台137宜連續地安裝於中心縱軸143上。此外，在所示實施例中，主體103之中心縱軸143與柄105之中心縱軸(亦被標示為143)對齊，使得轉台137亦安排成沿著柄之縱軸143延伸的線性組態。轉台137宜安裝於主體103上，使得轉台具有彼此實質上平行之旋轉軸139。在所示實施例中，轉台137中之至少一者(例如，所有轉台)的旋轉軸139實質上垂直於柄105自主體103延伸之方向。旋轉軸139宜實質上垂直於主體103及柄105之縱軸143。 At least some of the hair styling elements 107 are movable hair styling elements 135 mounted on the main body 103 for movement relative to the main body. For example, the movable hair styling element 135 is preferably rotatable relative to the main body 103. Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, 5, and 7, a plurality of turntables 137 (broadly speaking, a rotatable base) are mounted on the main body 103 so that the turntable rotates relative to the main body about a rotation axis 139. Although the rotatable base 137 is in the form of a turntable in the illustrated embodiment, it is understood that the rotatable base may have other shapes and configurations (eg, dome-shaped or hemispherical) if desired. The turntable 137 is preferably mounted on the wider side 121 of the main body 103 between its narrower sides 123. Referring to FIG. 5, the turntable 137 is preferably arranged in a linear configuration extending substantially along the longitudinal axis 143 of the main body 103. For example, the turntable 137 is preferably continuously mounted on the central longitudinal axis 143. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, the central longitudinal axis 143 of the main body 103 is aligned with the central longitudinal axis (also designated as 143) of the handle 105, so that the turntable 137 is also arranged in a linear configuration extending along the longitudinal axis 143 of the handle . The turntable 137 is preferably mounted on the main body 103 so that the turntable has rotation axes 139 substantially parallel to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotation axis 139 of at least one of the turntables 137 (eg, all the turntables) is substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the handle 105 extends from the main body 103. The rotation axis 139 is preferably substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 143 of the main body 103 and the handle 105.
可移動頭髮造型元件135安裝於轉台137上，使得可移動頭髮造型元件隨著轉台移動。轉台137宜收納在下殼111中之開口141中，使得轉台之一些部分位於主體103內部。轉台137亦包括暴露表面149，該暴露表面位於主體103外部或至少自主體外部可接近。轉台137之暴露表面149大體上背對主體 103。可移動頭髮造型元件135宜緊固至轉台137之暴露表面149。可移動造型元件135自轉台137延伸遠離主體103。 The movable hair styling element 135 is mounted on the turntable 137 so that the movable hair styling element moves with the turntable. The turntable 137 is preferably received in the opening 141 in the lower case 111 so that some parts of the turntable are located inside the main body 103. The turntable 137 also includes an exposed surface 149 that is located outside or at least accessible from outside the main body 103. The exposed surface 149 of the turntable 137 is generally facing away from the main body 103. The movable hair styling element 135 is preferably fastened to the exposed surface 149 of the turntable 137. The movable molding element 135 extends away from the main body 103 from the turntable 137.
可移動造型元件135中之至少一些偏離承載其之轉台137的旋轉軸143。舉例而言，在圖1至圖9中所示之實施例中，可移動造型元件135中之每一者偏離各別轉台137之旋轉軸143。如圖5中所示，可移動造型元件135中之一些或全部沿徑向向外一直延伸至各別轉台137之外周。偏離之可移動造型元件135經定位以歸因於其偏離位置而在轉台137旋轉時按相對較寬之圓來移動。轉台137宜具有相對較大之直徑D1，諸如至少約0.75吋。 At least some of the movable molding elements 135 are offset from the rotation axis 143 of the turntable 137 carrying it. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, each of the movable molding elements 135 is offset from the rotation axis 143 of the respective turntable 137. As shown in FIG. 5, some or all of the movable molding elements 135 extend radially outward all the way to the outer periphery of the respective turntable 137. The deflectable movable styling element 135 is positioned to move in a relatively wider circle as the turntable 137 rotates due to its eccentric position. The turntable 137 preferably has a relatively large diameter D1, such as at least about 0.75 inches.
參看圖4，可移動造型元件135宜自主體103延伸與固定頭髮造型元件125大致相同之距離。如圖4中所示，所有頭髮造型元件之遠端宜位於同一平面P上。替代地，所有頭髮造型元件之遠端可位於圓柱形或其他光滑之彎曲表面上。當使用頭髮造型裝置101來以與習知刷相同之方式梳頭髮時，固定頭髮造型元件125及可移動頭髮造型元件135均經定位以接觸頭髮及/或頭皮，且在裝置101接觸頭皮之情況下，壓力不傾向於僅集中在少許頭髮造型元件125、135上，壓力僅集中在少許頭髮造型元件125、135上之情況可能在一組頭髮造型元件明顯長於另一組頭髮造型元件使得末端並未全部位於同一平面上或位於光滑之彎曲表面上的情況下發生。 Referring to FIG. 4, the movable styling element 135 preferably extends from the main body 103 at substantially the same distance as the fixed hair styling element 125. As shown in FIG. 4, the distal ends of all the hair styling elements should preferably be located on the same plane P. Alternatively, the distal ends of all hair styling elements may be located on a cylindrical or other smooth curved surface. When the hair styling device 101 is used to comb hair in the same manner as a conventional brush, both the fixed hair styling element 125 and the movable hair styling element 135 are positioned to contact the hair and / or the scalp, and when the device 101 contacts the scalp The pressure does not tend to be concentrated on only a few hair styling elements 125, 135, and the situation where the pressure is concentrated on only a few hair styling elements 125, 135 may be significantly longer in one group of hair styling elements than another group Occurs when they are not all on the same plane or on a smooth curved surface.
在本發明之廣泛範疇內，可移動造型元件135之組態可變化。在圖1至圖9中所示之實施例中，可移動造型元件中之至少一些(例如全部)具有槳葉形組態。槳葉形造型元件135中之每一者具有經取向以大體上面朝旋轉方向的寬側151及經取向以大體上面朝相對於旋轉方向之徑向方向的窄側153。可移動頭髮造型元件135在此實施例中宜彼此實質上平行。然而，應理解，可移動造型元件可經取向以按需要在其延伸遠離基座時朝向或遠離彼此成角度。此外，在此實施例中，可移動造型元件135中之每一者與其他可移動頭髮造型元件中之 每一者間隔開。此情況與「簇」型頭髮造型元件相反，在「簇」型頭髮造型元件中一束或多束造型元件相對於彼此緊鄰安裝。然而，應理解，若需要，可移動造型元件可包括一或多個簇。 Within the broad scope of the present invention, the configuration of the movable modeling element 135 can be changed. In the embodiments shown in Figs. 1 to 9, at least some (e.g., all) of the movable molding elements have a paddle-shaped configuration. Each of the paddle-shaped styling elements 135 has a wide side 151 oriented to face generally in the direction of rotation and a narrow side 153 oriented to face generally in the radial direction with respect to the direction of rotation. The movable hair styling elements 135 are preferably substantially parallel to each other in this embodiment. It should be understood, however, that the movable styling elements may be oriented to angle towards or away from each other as they extend away from the base as desired. Further, in this embodiment, each of the movable styling elements 135 is different from the other movable hair styling elements. Each is spaced apart. This situation is in contrast to "cluster" type hair styling elements, in which one or more bundles of styling elements are installed next to each other. It should be understood, however, that the movable modeling element may include one or more clusters if desired.
裝置101包括用於驅動可移動造型元件135之移動(諸如藉由驅動轉台137之旋轉)的驅動系統161。舉例而言，驅動系統161可由使用者選擇性地啟動以在需要時使轉台137及其上之可移動造型元件135旋轉。驅動系統161宜亦經組態以在需要時使轉台137及其上之可移動造型元件135相對於主體103保持固定。 The device 101 includes a drive system 161 for driving the movement of the movable modeling element 135, such as by driving the rotation of the turntable 137. For example, the drive system 161 can be selectively activated by a user to rotate the turntable 137 and the movable molding element 135 thereon when needed. The drive system 161 should also be configured to keep the turntable 137 and its movable molding element 135 fixed relative to the main body 103 when needed.
參看圖7至圖9，驅動系統161宜包括連接至轉台137之馬達163(例如電動馬達)，使得該馬達可使轉台相對於主體103旋轉。在所示實施例中，馬達163藉由一組齒輪171連接至轉台137。該等齒輪包括安裝於馬達163之輸出軸175上的驅動鏈輪173，使得輸出軸與驅動鏈輪一同旋轉。驅動鏈輪173與變速齒輪177嚙合，該變速齒輪與一組轉台齒輪179中之第一齒輪嚙合。轉台137安裝於轉台齒輪179上，使得轉台隨著轉台齒輪(例如與轉台齒輪一同)旋轉。在所示實施例中，變速齒輪177經組態以使第一轉台齒輪179按比驅動鏈輪173及馬達163之輸出軸175之角速度高的角速度來轉動。變速齒輪177經組態以在動力自馬達傳輸至轉台137時增加速度。然而，變速齒輪可經組態以在需要時相對於馬達減小轉台齒輪之速度。 7 to 9, the driving system 161 preferably includes a motor 163 (such as an electric motor) connected to the turntable 137 so that the motor can rotate the turntable relative to the main body 103. In the illustrated embodiment, the motor 163 is connected to the turntable 137 by a set of gears 171. These gears include a drive sprocket 173 mounted on an output shaft 175 of the motor 163 so that the output shaft rotates together with the drive sprocket. The drive sprocket 173 meshes with a speed change gear 177 that meshes with a first gear of a set of turntable gears 179. The turntable 137 is mounted on the turntable gear 179 so that the turntable rotates with the turntable gear (for example, together with the turntable gear). In the illustrated embodiment, the shift gear 177 is configured to rotate the first turntable gear 179 at an angular velocity higher than the angular velocity of the output shaft 175 of the drive sprocket 173 and the motor 163. The shift gear 177 is configured to increase speed as power is transmitted from the motor to the turntable 137. However, the shift gear can be configured to reduce the speed of the turntable gear relative to the motor when needed.
惰齒輪181位於各轉台齒輪179之間，使得惰齒輪與相鄰轉台齒輪嚙合。齒輪171藉此經組態以使每一轉台按同一方向旋轉。齒輪171及驅動系統161宜經組態以使每一轉台137按實質上相同之角速度旋轉。舉例而言，轉台齒輪179在所示實施例中大小皆實質上相等，且惰齒輪181亦大小皆實質上相等，使得轉台齒輪皆按大致相同之速度旋轉。 The idler gear 181 is located between the turntable gears 179 such that the idler gear meshes with an adjacent turntable gear. The gear 171 is thereby configured to rotate each turntable in the same direction. The gear 171 and the drive system 161 are preferably configured so that each turntable 137 rotates at substantially the same angular velocity. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the turntable gears 179 are all substantially the same size, and the idler gears 181 are also substantially the same size, so that the turntable gears are rotated at substantially the same speed.
轉台137可用各種方式連接至轉台齒輪179。在所示實施例中，轉台 137係可釋放地緊固至轉台齒輪179。參看圖7至圖9，舉例而言，轉台齒輪179中之每一者具有沿著旋轉軸139延伸之心軸185(圖8及圖9)。心軸185經定尺寸及整形以收納於轉台137之基座中形成的插口187(圖7)中。心軸185及插口187各自具有對應之非圓形截面形狀，使得在心軸處於插口中時轉台137與心軸185及轉台齒輪179旋轉地鎖定。心軸185及插口187宜經定尺寸以導致心軸與插口之間的摩擦配合，該摩擦配合強到足以在使用時使轉台保持在裝置101上，但弱到足以使得在需要時使用者能將轉台137從心軸185上扯下。如此便於用不同轉台來更換轉台137中之一或多者。 The turntable 137 can be connected to the turntable gear 179 in various ways. In the embodiment shown, the turntable The 137 series is releasably fastened to the turntable gear 179. Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, for example, each of the turntable gears 179 has a mandrel 185 (FIGS. 8 and 9) extending along the rotation axis 139. The mandrel 185 is sized and shaped to be received in a socket 187 (FIG. 7) formed in the base of the turntable 137. The mandrel 185 and the socket 187 each have a corresponding non-circular cross-sectional shape, so that when the mandrel is in the socket, the turntable 137 and the mandrel 185 and the turntable gear 179 are rotationally locked. The mandrel 185 and the socket 187 should be sized to cause a friction fit between the mandrel and the socket. The friction fit is strong enough to keep the turntable on the device 101 during use, but weak enough to enable the user to The turntable 137 is torn from the mandrel 185. This facilitates replacing one or more of the turntables 137 with different turntables.
圖10示出了可互換地用於裝置101之兩組不同轉台137、137'。第一組轉台137為圖1至圖9中所示之該等轉台。第二組轉台137'與第一組轉台137實質上相同，除了第二組轉台具有可移動頭髮造型元件135'之不同組態之外。替代槳葉形造型元件135，第二組轉台137'上之可移動造型元件135'為實質上圓柱形的。實質上圓柱形之造型元件135'中之每一者與其他造型元件中之每一者間隔開。每一轉台137'上之造型元件135'中之一者位於旋轉軸139上。其他造型元件135'偏離旋轉軸139。造型元件137'皆彼此實質上平行且安排成柵格組態(例如，3×3柵格)。只要使用者想要將不同類型之可移動造型元件用於該裝置，他或她可將轉台自該裝置扯下且用一組不同轉台來替換該等轉台。雖然圖10中僅示出了兩類轉台137、137'，但應理解，可移動頭髮造型元件之組態存在眾多可能變化，且對於可能係所要之可能組態中之任一者，可能存在一組不同轉台。 FIG. 10 shows two different sets of turntables 137, 137 'for the device 101 interchangeably. The first group of turntables 137 are the turntables shown in FIGS. 1 to 9. The second group of turntables 137 'is substantially the same as the first group of turntables 137, except that the second group of turntables has different configurations of the movable hair styling element 135'. Instead of the paddle-shaped styling element 135, the movable styling element 135 'on the second set of turntables 137' is substantially cylindrical. Each of the substantially cylindrical shaped elements 135 'is spaced from each of the other shaped elements. One of the molding elements 135 ′ on each turntable 137 ′ is located on the rotation shaft 139. The other modeling elements 135 ′ are offset from the rotation axis 139. The modeling elements 137 'are all substantially parallel to each other and arranged in a grid configuration (for example, a 3x3 grid). As long as the user wants to use different types of movable modeling elements for the device, he or she can tear the turntable from the device and replace the turntables with a different set of turntables. Although only two types of turntables 137, 137 'are shown in FIG. 10, it should be understood that there are many possible changes in the configuration of the movable hair styling element, and for any of the possible configurations that may be desired, A different set of turntables.
在裝置101之外部部分上可接近之開關165控制馬達163之操作且允許使用者選擇性地啟動及撤銷啟動驅動系統161。開關165可為能夠將馬達163與電源(諸如所示實施例中之內部電池167)選擇性地連接及斷開連接的任何合適開關。 A switch 165 accessible on the external part of the device 101 controls the operation of the motor 163 and allows the user to selectively activate and deactivate the drive system 161. The switch 165 may be any suitable switch capable of selectively connecting and disconnecting the motor 163 from a power source, such as the internal battery 167 in the illustrated embodiment.
舉例而言，開關165宜經組態以在使用者按下開關時對馬達163供電 且啟動驅動系統161且在使用者釋放開關後即刻對馬達斷電且關閉驅動系統。因此，使用者藉由僅一次觸摸便可啟動及撤銷啟動驅動裝置161，其中該觸摸之持續時間界定了驅動系統起作用之時段。可能為所要的係，使用裝置101之一些方法需要使用者進行積極輸入(諸如需要使用者繼續按壓開關165)以繼續驅動系統161之操作。舉例而言，若使用者在使用該裝置時分心且無法維持對開關165之壓力，則裝置101自動地停止轉台137之旋轉且藉此將歸因於驅動系統在使用者分心時繼續操作而導致頭髮打結之風險降至最低。類似地，使諸如頭髮打結之問題的風險降低，其中若使用者試圖關閉馬達163，但因為在嘗試按下開關165時出現實體錯誤(例如，行動笨拙)而導致延遲，則可能會導致此類問題。 For example, the switch 165 should be configured to power the motor 163 when the user presses the switch And the drive system 161 is started and the motor is powered off and the drive system is turned off immediately after the user releases the switch. Therefore, the user can activate and deactivate the driving device 161 by only one touch, wherein the duration of the touch defines the period during which the driving system functions. Possibly the desired system, some methods of using the device 101 require active input from the user (such as requiring the user to continue pressing the switch 165) to continue driving the operation of the system 161. For example, if the user is distracted while using the device and cannot maintain the pressure on the switch 165, the device 101 automatically stops the rotation of the turntable 137 and thereby attribute the drive system to continue operation while the user is distracted The risk of hair knots is minimized. Similarly, the risk of problems such as hair kinks is reduced, where if a user attempts to turn off the motor 163, but a delay is caused by a physical error (e.g., clumsy action) when trying to press the switch 165, this may be caused Class problem.
裝置101可按兩種模式中之任一者使用：固定造型元件模式及移動(例如旋轉)造型元件模式。當按固定造型元件模式使用時，裝置101按與習知髮刷實質上相同之方式操作。使用者相對於人之頭髮移動裝置101之柄105，使得固定頭髮造型元件125及可移動造型元件135接合人之頭髮且相對於人之頭髮移動(例如，以理順頭髮、對頭髮分配護髮產品、拉直頭髮、捲曲頭髮等)。 The device 101 can be used in any of two modes: a fixed modeling element mode and a mobile (eg, rotating) modeling element mode. When used in a fixed styling element mode, the device 101 operates in substantially the same manner as a conventional hairbrush. The user moves the handle 105 of the device 101 relative to the human hair so that the fixed hair styling element 125 and the movable styling element 135 engage the human hair and move relative to the human hair (e.g., to straighten the hair, assign hair care to the hair Products, straightening hair, curly hair, etc.).
為了按移動頭髮造型元件模式使用裝置101，使用者啟動驅動系統161(例如，藉由按壓開關165)以驅動移動造型元件135之移動。舉例而言，參看圖11，使用者宜啟動驅動系統161以驅動轉台137相對於主體103之旋轉且藉此在頭髮造型元件中之至少一些與該人之頭髮接觸時使轉台及其上之可移動頭髮造型元件135旋轉。可使用此種方法來達成各種造型效果。舉例而言，旋轉中之轉台137及可移動頭髮造型元件宜由人頭上之一組頭髮191形成一束捲曲之頭髮193。在圖11中，槳葉形之可移動頭髮造型元件135在與人頭間隔開之位置(例如，該束頭髮之髮梢附近)處與該束頭髮193接觸。槳葉形之造型元件135之寬面151將頭髮按大體上圓形之形狀移動且藉此將該束頭髮卷成大體上螺旋形之卷，該卷在該等頭髮的與該裝置接觸之髮段與人頭之間延伸。對髮束191 施加之螺旋形彎曲宜具有一中心軸，該中心軸實質上平行於在該髮束中已形成螺旋形之卷的轉台137之旋轉軸139。使用該等轉台中之第一者形成第一捲曲髮束同時使用該等轉台中之另一者形成另一捲曲髮束係可能的。由於裝置101具有三個轉台137，因此亦可能同時將頭髮191之三股單獨髮束193卷成螺旋形之卷。然而，不必同時形成多個螺旋形之卷。 To use the device 101 in the mobile hair styling element mode, the user activates the driving system 161 (eg, by pressing the switch 165) to drive the movement of the mobile styling element 135. For example, referring to FIG. 11, the user should activate the driving system 161 to drive the rotation of the turntable 137 relative to the main body 103 and thereby make the turntable and its accessibility accessible when at least some of the hair styling elements come into contact with the person's hair. The moving hair styling element 135 rotates. You can use this method to achieve a variety of modeling effects. For example, the rotating turntable 137 and the movable hair styling element may form a bunch of curly hair 193 from a group of hairs 191 on a human head. In FIG. 11, a paddle-shaped movable hair styling element 135 is in contact with the bundle of hair 193 at a position spaced from the human head (for example, near the tip of the bundle of hair). The broad face 151 of the paddle-shaped styling element 135 moves the hair in a generally circular shape and thereby curls the bundle of hair into a generally spiral-shaped curl, which rolls over the hair of those hairs in contact with the device Extend between the paragraph and the head. Pair of hair 191 The applied helical bend preferably has a central axis that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis 139 of the turntable 137 that has formed a helical roll in the tresses. It is possible to use the first of these turntables to form a first curly hair tress while using the other of the turntables to form another curly hair tress. Since the device 101 has three turntables 137, it is also possible to roll three separate strands of hair 193 into helical rolls at the same time. However, it is not necessary to form multiple spiral rolls at the same time.
該方法視情況地包括將該捲曲髮束中之頭髮191夾持選定之一段時間以對該髮束賦予持久之螺旋形彎曲。舉例而言，可在髮束193被夾持成捲曲形狀時向髮束193噴水或使髮束193與髮膠、摩絲、啫喱或其他頭髮造型產品接觸，且在水乾了或頭髮造型產品乾了及/或固定時保持捲曲形狀以在裝置101自頭髮移除之後幫助頭髮保持螺旋形形狀。 The method optionally includes holding the hair 191 in the curly hair tress for a selected period of time to impart a permanent helical bend to the hair tress. For example, the hair tress 193 may be sprayed with water when the hair tress 193 is held in a curled shape or brought into contact with hair gel, mousse, gel, or other hair styling product, and dried after the water is dried or the hair styling product is dried The curl shape is maintained and / or fixed to help the hair maintain a spiral shape after the device 101 is removed from the hair.
該過程可按需要重複多次以向頭髮191之額外髮束193賦予螺旋形捲曲。 This process can be repeated as many times as necessary to impart helical curl to the additional tresses 193 of the hair 191.
此為可如何使用該裝置來捲曲人之頭髮的僅一個實例。應理解，若需要，該等可移動頭髮造型元件可按不同方式使用。 This is just one example of how the device can be used to curl human hair. It should be understood that such removable hair styling elements can be used in different ways if desired.
圖12示出了本發明之頭髮造型裝置201之另一實施例。此裝置201與在上文描述且在圖1至圖9中示出之裝置101實質上相同，除了此裝置201不具有任何固定頭髮造型元件之外。實情為，所有頭髮造型元件207為安裝於轉台237上之可移動頭髮造型元件235。裝置201可用於執行與上述裝置101相同之方法。 FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the hair styling device 201 of the present invention. This device 201 is substantially the same as the device 101 described above and shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, except that this device 201 does not have any fixed hair styling elements. In fact, all the hair styling elements 207 are movable hair styling elements 235 mounted on the turntable 237. The device 201 can be used to perform the same method as the device 101 described above.
頭髮造型裝置之另一實施例(整體上被標示為301)示出於圖13至圖15中。此裝置301與在上文描述且在圖1至圖9中示出之裝置101實質上類似，除了上述驅動系統161已被可手動啟動之驅動系統361取代之外。在此裝置301中無馬達。驅動系統361具有齒輪371，該等齒輪包括與上述之轉台齒輪179及惰齒輪181對應之轉台齒輪379及惰齒輪381。然而，替代馬達，裝置301具有 手動致動器375，該手動致動器在所示實施例中係呈桿之形式，該桿經安裝以實現樞轉移動，使得該桿之一端在柄305外部延伸。與驅動插口之一節段對應的一組齒373形成於桿375之相對端上。齒373與變速齒輪377嚙合，該變速齒輪與輔助惰齒輪393嚙合，該輔助惰齒輪與轉台齒輪379中之一者嚙合。 Another embodiment of a hair styling device (designated generally as 301) is shown in FIGS. 13 to 15. This device 301 is substantially similar to the device 101 described above and shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, except that the above-mentioned drive system 161 has been replaced by a manually-startable drive system 361. There is no motor in this device 301. The drive system 361 has gears 371, which include a turntable gear 379 and an idler gear 381 corresponding to the turntable gear 179 and the idler gear 181 described above. However, instead of a motor, the device 301 has A manual actuator 375, which in the illustrated embodiment is in the form of a rod that is mounted for pivotal movement such that one end of the rod extends outside the handle 305. A set of teeth 373 corresponding to one segment of the drive socket is formed on opposite ends of the rod 375. The teeth 373 mesh with a shift gear 377 that meshes with an auxiliary idler gear 393 that meshes with one of the turntable gears 379.
桿375可藉由使用者在第一位置(圖14)與第二位置(圖15)之間移動，在第一位置時，桿自柄305凸出較遠，在第二位置時，桿自柄凸出較少。偏置構件395(例如彈簧)定位且安排在柄305中以將桿375向第一位置偏置。桿375相對於齒輪371定位及安排，使得桿在第一位置與第二位置之間的移動經由齒輪驅動轉台337及其上之可移動造型元件335之移動。正如上述驅動系統161之情況一樣，齒輪371經組態以按同一方向且按大致相同之速度來驅動轉台337中之每一者。 The lever 375 can be moved by the user between a first position (FIG. 14) and a second position (FIG. 15). In the first position, the lever protrudes farther from the handle 305, and in the second position, the lever The stalk protrudes less. A biasing member 395 (eg, a spring) is positioned and arranged in the handle 305 to bias the lever 375 toward the first position. The lever 375 is positioned and arranged with respect to the gear 371 so that the movement of the lever between the first position and the second position drives the movement of the turntable 337 and the movable molding element 335 thereon via the gear. As is the case with the drive system 161 described above, the gears 371 are configured to drive each of the turntables 337 in the same direction and at approximately the same speed.
裝置301可用於與上文結合圖1至圖9中所示之裝置101描述之方法實質上相同之方法中。然而，為了使可移動造型元件移動，使用者藉由手動操縱致動器375(例如桿)以將致動器自第一位置移動至第二位置來手動啟動驅動系統361。使用者接著將該裝置自頭髮移除，再釋放致動器375。一旦使用者釋放致動器375，偏置構件395即自動地使致動器移動返回第一位置。此過程可按需要重複多次。 The device 301 can be used in a method that is substantially the same as the method described above in connection with the device 101 shown in FIGS. 1 to 9. However, in order to move the movable modeling element, the user manually activates the drive system 361 by manually operating the actuator 375 (eg, a lever) to move the actuator from the first position to the second position. The user then removes the device from the hair and releases the actuator 375. Once the user releases the actuator 375, the biasing member 395 automatically moves the actuator back to the first position. This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
頭髮造型裝置之另一實施例(整體上被標示為401)示出於圖16至圖18中。此裝置401與在上文描述且在圖13至圖15中示出之裝置301類似，除了主體403具有大體上橢圓形之形狀且不包括自該主體延伸之細長柄之外。而是，主體403自身打算係被使用者抓握以便操作裝置401。抓握表面497亦設置於主體403上以方便抓握該主體。如所示，抓握表面497為主體403中之一連串平行通道。然而，將理解，抓握表面可呈現不同形式，包括但不限於凸起表面、凸塊及高摩擦材料。如所示，主體403形成為可連接在一起之兩個半部。在圖 14及圖15中已移除主體之一個半部以展示內部構造。 Another embodiment of a hair styling device (labeled 401 as a whole) is shown in FIGS. 16 to 18. This device 401 is similar to the device 301 described above and shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, except that the body 403 has a substantially oval shape and does not include an elongated handle extending from the body. Instead, the main body 403 is intended to be grasped by a user in order to operate the device 401. A gripping surface 497 is also provided on the main body 403 to facilitate gripping the main body. As shown, the gripping surface 497 is one of a series of parallel channels in the body 403. However, it will be understood that the gripping surface may take different forms, including but not limited to raised surfaces, bumps, and high friction materials. As shown, the body 403 is formed as two halves that can be connected together. In the figure One and a half of the main body has been removed in 14 and FIG. 15 to show the internal structure.
另外，包括複數個可移動造型元件435之僅單個轉台437安裝於主體403上。與裝置301類似，驅動系統461具有齒輪471，該等齒輪包括單個轉台齒輪479及與該轉台齒輪對應之單個惰齒輪481。手動致動器475，該手動致動器在所示實施例中呈桿之形式，該桿經安裝以達成樞轉移動，使得該桿之一端在主體403外部延伸。與驅動插口之節段對應的一組齒473形成於桿475之相對端上。齒473與變速齒輪477嚙合，該變速齒輪與惰齒輪481嚙合，該惰齒輪與轉台齒輪479嚙合。轉台437連接至轉台齒輪479以與轉台協同旋轉。在所示實施例中，每一可移動造型元件435具有槳葉形狀，該槳葉形狀具有形成於該元件之窄側453中的一對凹口457。與梳子之齒類似，凹口457自頭髮造型元件435沿徑向面朝外且在使用期間收納及保持多個髮束。然而，在本發明之廣泛範疇內，可移動造型元件435之組態可改變。主體403之總體大小與主體103之總體大小類似，使得主體403之較寬側的寬度宜為至少約2吋，且主體403之長度宜為至少約4吋。 In addition, only a single turntable 437 including a plurality of movable molding elements 435 is mounted on the main body 403. Similar to the device 301, the drive system 461 has gears 471, which include a single turntable gear 479 and a single idler gear 481 corresponding to the turntable gear. A manual actuator 475, which in the illustrated embodiment is in the form of a rod that is mounted to achieve pivotal movement such that one end of the rod extends outside the body 403. A set of teeth 473 corresponding to the segments of the drive socket are formed on opposite ends of the rod 475. The teeth 473 mesh with a shift gear 477 that meshes with an idler gear 481 that meshes with a turntable gear 479. The turntable 437 is connected to the turntable gear 479 for co-rotation with the turntable. In the illustrated embodiment, each movable styling element 435 has a paddle shape having a pair of notches 457 formed in a narrow side 453 of the element. Similar to the teeth of the comb, the notch 457 faces radially outward from the hair styling element 435 and receives and holds multiple hair bundles during use. However, the configuration of the movable modeling element 435 can be changed within the broad scope of the present invention. The overall size of the main body 403 is similar to the overall size of the main body 103, so that the width of the wider side of the main body 403 should be at least about 2 inches, and the length of the main body 403 should be at least about 4 inches.
如上文針對裝置301所描述，桿475可由使用者在第一位置(圖17及圖17A)與第二位置(圖18)之間移動。偏置構件495(例如彈簧)定位且安排在主體403中以將桿475向第一位置(圖17A)偏置。桿475相對於齒輪471定位及安排，使得桿在第一位置與第二位置之間的移動經由齒輪驅動轉台437及其上之可移動造型元件435的移動。 As described above for the device 301, the lever 475 can be moved by a user between a first position (FIGS. 17 and 17A) and a second position (FIG. 18). A biasing member 495 (eg, a spring) is positioned and arranged in the body 403 to bias the lever 475 toward the first position (FIG. 17A). The lever 475 is positioned and arranged relative to the gear 471 so that the movement of the lever between the first position and the second position drives the movement of the turntable 437 and the movable molding element 435 thereon via the gear.
為了使可移動造型元件移動，使用者藉由手動操縱致動器475(例如桿)以將致動器自第一位置移動至第二位置來手動啟動驅動系統461。齒輪477相對於齒輪481及479之大小使轉台437及安裝於其上之頭髮造型元件比齒輪477更快速地轉動通過較大之旋轉角度。使用者接著在釋放致動器475之前將該裝置自頭髮移除。一旦使用者釋放致動器475，偏置構件495即自動地將致動器 移動回到第一位置。此過程可按需要而重複多次。 To move the movable modeling element, the user manually activates the drive system 461 by manually manipulating the actuator 475 (eg, a lever) to move the actuator from the first position to the second position. The size of the gear 477 relative to the gears 481 and 479 causes the turntable 437 and the hair styling element mounted thereon to rotate faster than the gear 477 through a larger rotation angle. The user then removes the device from the hair before releasing the actuator 475. Once the user releases the actuator 475, the biasing member 495 automatically moves the actuator Move back to the first position. This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
頭髮造型裝置之另一實施例(整體上被標示為501)示出於圖19至圖21中。此裝置501與在上文描述且在圖16至圖18中示出之裝置401基本上類似，除了致動器575包括在主體503之一側上的可壓下按鈕之外。致動器575可沿著一條線來回移動以致動頭髮造型元件535之旋轉。主體503(尤其包括該主體的在圖17及圖18中移除之部分)包括用於引導致動器575沿著其直線、往復路徑之移動的結構。彈簧595附接至致動器575的與形成該按鈕之部分相對的末端。彈簧595之另一末端附接至主體503之一部分上的柱(未圖示)，在圖20及圖21中移除了該部分。該柱提供一固定點，彈簧595作用於該固定點以移動致動器575。另外地，每一可移動造型元件535為具有大體上三角形截面之槳葉形。凹口557形成於造型元件之側553中。在一個實施例中，在不脫離本發明之範疇的情況下，先前實施例之頭髮造型裝置401可使用致動器總成，該致動器總成包括針對當前實施例之裝置501公開的致動器575。 Another embodiment of a hair styling device (designated as 501 as a whole) is shown in FIGS. 19 to 21. This device 501 is basically similar to the device 401 described above and shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, except that the actuator 575 includes a depressible button on one side of the main body 503. The actuator 575 can be moved back and forth along a line to activate the rotation of the hair styling element 535. The main body 503 (especially including portions of the main body removed in FIGS. 17 and 18) includes a structure for causing the actuator 575 to move along its linear, reciprocating path. A spring 595 is attached to the end of the actuator 575 opposite the portion forming the button. The other end of the spring 595 is attached to a post (not shown) on a part of the main body 503, which part is removed in FIGS. 20 and 21. The post provides a fixed point to which a spring 595 acts to move the actuator 575. Additionally, each movable styling element 535 has a paddle shape having a generally triangular cross-section. A notch 557 is formed in the side 553 of the molding element. In one embodiment, the hair styling device 401 of the previous embodiment may use an actuator assembly without departing from the scope of the present invention. The actuator assembly includes the device disclosed in the device 501 of the current embodiment.器 575。 575.
