Description

Hairdressing Device and Heating Roller Set {HAIRDRESSING MEANS AND HEATED ROLLER SET}

The present invention relates to a hairdressing device, in particular a hairdressing device comprising a housing having a plurality of rollers with a heat collecting means and a heating means. More particularly, of course, but not exclusively, the invention relates to a heated hairdressing device comprising a main housing for receiving and heating a roller and heating means for heating at least one roller. . The invention also relates to a hairdressing roller for use in such a hairdressing device.

Hairdressing devices are known which comprise a hairdressing roller (abbreviated " hair roller ") and a container for receiving and heating the hair roller. Hair rollers generally include a collector to accumulate heat, and the accumulated heat is released into the hair during hair care. The collector may comprise a metal body such as aluminum, a ceramic body or a body combined with ceramic and metal to enhance the accumulation and transfer of heat. The hair roller also includes a plastic housing surrounding the collector. The plastic housing may have a bumpy or uneven surface, for example a surface of fleece or a plastic mesh with plastic hooks protruding.

Furthermore, such a hairdressing device comprises heating means for heating the hair roller. In conventional designs, the collector of the hair roller is easily accessible from its one end face such that when one end face of the roller is in contact with the corresponding heating means, it is easily heated by the heating means. The rollers are generally received one after the other in the container, with their ends pre-stressed in the roller receptacles. By storing in this manner, the rollers are substantially prevented from turning, and at the same time, sufficient thermal contact is possible between the collector of the hair rollers and the heating element dissipating heat.

In using such a hairdressing device, the rollers are first heated and then manually taken out of the container one by one, wound on the hair or bundle of hair to be trimmed, and then fixed by a hairpin. In some cases, the rollers will be removed from the container by holding both end faces with one hand. However, direct contact with the hot surface of an exposed heating means or heating element is dangerous and should be avoided.

In order to achieve the desired hairdressing effect, the rollers need to stay in the hair for a considerable time, ie, until the heat accumulated in the collector of the hair rollers is transferred or distributed to the hair to be groomed.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a hairdressing device having means for substantially avoiding the disadvantages of conventional hairdressing devices of the type described above. More particularly, the present invention aims to provide a hairdressing device which can substantially avoid the risk of unintended contact with the heating element while handling the roller.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by mounting a collector on each roller with a heating element receptacle which detachably couples the roller to the heating element of the vessel and access of one end face of the roller is freed by the vessel or the heating element. Achieved by making it possible, and assigning the means of application to the hairdressing device to securely grip the rollers stored in the container at once without turning the rollers stored in the container, and to turn the rollers in the same manner as the tongs It is achieved by providing a finger so that the bundle of hair between the roller finger and the roller surface can be pinched.

Regardless of whether the surface touching the hair is smooth or covered with wool, the collector of each roller is provided with a receptacle for receiving the heating element such that each roller is coupled to the heating element. As such, the roller can be stored standing upright in the container, allowing free access to the upper end of the roller. The heating element of the heating means of the vessel may be a peg-shaped attachment of a larger heating element, whereby a plurality of rollers or collectors are heated. However, an arrangement is preferred in which individual heating elements are assigned to each roller to heat the collector. The heating element receptacles in each roller are preferably designed as bush-shaped receptacles so that the heating elements are surrounded by the collectors of the rollers and preferably contact the inside of the receptacles. Thereby, the heating energy can be minimized, and if each heating element is provided individually to each roller, each heating element can be made to fit the size of the roller to be heated. Compared to small rollers, large rollers with large collectors can be placed on the heating element with higher efficiency. By this arrangement, the hairdressing device can be designed such that essentially all the rollers reach the required hairdressing temperature at the same time, even if they differ in size.

The storage arrangement of the rollers described above, which couples the rollers to the heating element, allows one end face of the roller to be freely accessible, thus allowing the heating element to be arranged inside the container so that the free top surface of the roller is accessible.

This hairdressing device also includes an application means for grasping and / or taking one roller out of the container at one time to round the bundle of hair laid on the rollers. This application means, on the one hand, does not require the user to touch the hot rollers by hand, and on the other hand, a roller finger for providing a bundle of hair between the roller finger and the roller surface is provided in the application means. This has the advantage that the hair can be rounded on a roller having a smooth outer surface without any problem. In this way, the hair can be rounded without any problem to the roller removed from the container by the application means for fixing the hair bundle with the roller fingers, and the roller fingers are pivoted with respect to the application means in the same way as the tongs. It is also possible to use an application means which automatically winds the hair around the rollers so that there is no need to actively adjust and rotate the application means to wind the hair around the rollers. With such application means, such a roller has the advantage that it can be heated to a generally higher temperature than conventional rollers which wind the hair manually. When the rollers are heated to a higher temperature, the hairstyle finishes faster and lasts longer.

Particularly preferred is an embodiment of a hairdressing device having a smooth surface at least as much as the roller area in which the hair to be groomed is located. At this time, the heat transfer from the rollers to the hair is further increased and the hairstyle is completed more quickly. Generally the collector itself, such as a circular aluminum rod, forms such a roller.

Preferably, the heating element receptacle of the collector of the roller is disposed along the longitudinal length of the roller and in contact with at least 50% of the longitudinal length of the collector. According to an embodiment of the invention, in order to engage the roller with the application means, each roller is provided with a receptacle which likewise follows the longitudinal length of the roller and is eccentric with respect to the heating element receptacle. The receptacle is preferably contoured such that a complementary element, such as a sword shape or a dagger-shaped extension attached to the application device, is securely coupled within the receptacle to prevent the roller from turning. For example, a dagger shape attached to the application means is introduced into the receptacle so that the roller is coupled to the application means, while the roller finger, which is prestressed by the spring, as in the action of the forceps, in contact with the outside of the roller, Allow the roller to be fixed by the application means. In this embodiment, while the roller finger portion is open, the roller is easily removed from the dagger with the hair wound on the roller. When the rollers are coupled to the heating element in the container, at least one or more receptacles of each roller are connected to an end face of the roller that is easily accessible from the top.

The heating element of the heating means of the vessel is preferably housed in a common chamber. If the roller is placed on the heating element while being heated, the chamber can be used to treat the rollers prior to use, for example to provide moisture to the rollers, since at least a portion extends into the chamber. In this case, the vessel is additionally equipped with a steam generator for generating steam, such as steam, if necessary. The steam generator includes a water tank whose opening is closed by a wick. The water tank with the wick is housed in the container so as to be movable, and the wick is disposed opposite the heating plate. To wet the rollers with steam, the water tank with the wick is moved towards the heating element such that the wick contacts the heating element and the predetermined amount of water evaporates. In addition, the common chamber can be used to incorporate ionization means for covering the outside of the roller with ions. To this end, the outer surface of the roller of this embodiment is provided with an insulating surface coating such as a ceramic coating.

In addition, the container is preferably provided with a storage chamber for storing the application means. Thereby, during the preheating of the rollers, the application means and in particular the elements provided for holding the rollers, such as daggers or roller fingers, are also at least partially heated, which is undesirable by the application means when the rollers are gripped by the application means. Poor cooling is minimized. In the case where the roller fingers extend into the aforementioned chamber of the vessel and the vessel comprises ionization means, when the coating for insulation is performed, the roller fingers are also covered with ions like the rollers.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the hairdressing device 1 comprises a container 2 with a top cover, a plurality of hair rollers and an application means 4. The container 2 is configured to receive a plurality of rollers, and the top cover 3 is coupled to pivot with respect to the main housing of the container. The container 2 is also adapted to the application means when the application means 4 are not used. 4) a receptacle or storage chamber 5 for accommodating the same. 1 shows a state in which the application means 4 are partially inserted into the storage chamber 5. A recess 6 for holding the hairdressing device 1 for carrying is also provided for the user's convenience.

The container 2 of the hairdressing device 1 comprises an inner compartment, ie an inner chamber 7, the upper side of which is defined by the gap B and the other sides by the wall of the container 2. In the inner chamber 7 of the container 2, a plurality of heating elements extending upwards towards the top cover are arranged at the bottom of the inner chamber 7. The plurality of heating elements corresponds to the number of hair rollers L to be located or to be located in the container 2.

A cross-sectional view of the two heating elements 8, 8 ′ and the hair rollers positioned or joined correspondingly is shown by way of example in FIG. 2. In a preferred embodiment, the heating element is sandwiched between two side plates and the transverse cross section of the heating elements 8, 8 ′ is substantially square. As a suitable example, the heating element consists of a resistive heating element, which protrudes upward like a dagger-shaped peg in a protruding arrangement.

The roller L of the hairdressing device 1 has its end face covered with plastic and includes an aluminum heat collecting means or a heat collecting element. The surface of the roller L to be placed on the hair to be groomed is provided with an insulating ceramic coating. Along the direction coincident with the longitudinal axis of the roller L, the heating element receptacle 10 is introduced from the bottom end face of the roller L into the roller body and into the collector of the roller L. Regarding the reference numerals, the foregoing description and the following description refer to the roller L shown on the left side of FIG. 2, but all other rollers L of the hairdressing device 1 also have a corresponding structure. The contour of the heating element receptacle 10 corresponds to the contour of the heating element 8 such that the inside of the heating element receptacle 10 of the roller L is in contact with the outer periphery of the heating element 8. As such, the heating element 8 is surrounded by the heating element receptacle 10. By this design and configuration it is clear that essentially all the heat provided by the heating element 8 is transferred to the roller L. The roller L is also provided with two additional receptacles 11, 11 ′ in a direction coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the roller L. The receptacles 11, 11 ′ are arranged to be eccentric with respect to the heating element receptacle 10 and are connected towards the opposite end face 12 of one end face 9 of the roller. The cross-sectional shape of the two receptacles 11, 11 'of the same dimension is elliptical. The receptacles 11, 11 ′ together with the application means 4 serve the purpose of reliably squeezing the rollers so that the rollers L do not rotate and taking them out of the container 2.

The vessel 2 is also provided with a steam generator 13 with a wick 16 and a water tank 14 adjacent to the heating plate 15. The water tank 14 and the wick 16 are displaceable with respect to the heating plate 15 so that the wick 16 submerged in water contacts the heating plate 15 to generate a predetermined amount of steam. The generated steam is dispersed in the chamber 7 and wets the portion of the roller L extending into the chamber 7. The chamber 7 is also provided with ionizing means 17 for generating ions that cover the insulating outer surface of the roller L.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the application means 4 are fully inserted into the storage compartment 5 of the container 2.

The rollers L of the hairdressing device 1 have different sizes depending on the requirements. In the embodiment shown in the figures, as the size of the roller L varies, the size and efficiency of the heating element is adjusted to the size of each roller L. Thereby, the object of heating all the rollers L to the required temperature simultaneously or almost simultaneously in the preheating step is achieved, and the object of preventing overheating of each heating element, i.e., excessive heating of each roller, is achieved.

In use, first the power of the hairdressing device 1 is turned on so that the heating elements 8, 8 ′ of the heating means can heat the roller L inside the container 2. When the preheating is completed, the application means can be taken out of the storage chamber 5, the cover 3 is opened, and the rollers L can be taken out of the container 2 one by one. For this purpose, the application means 4 are provided with a dagger-shaped projection 18 having an elliptical cross section and which can be inserted into the receptacles 11, 11 ′. Furthermore, a roller finger portion 19 that is pivotable with respect to the handle portion 20 of the application means 4 is provided in the application means 4. The roller finger portion is pivoted by the operating handle 21. When the actuation handle 21 is actuated, the roller fingers 19 move against the force of the readjustment spring. Between the gap B of the container 2 and the outside of the roller L, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a gap sufficient for the roller finger 19 to be inserted into the chamber 17. At this time, the roller L is gripped by the application means 4 as in the tongs and taken out of the chamber 7 (see FIG. 3). In order to round the hair on the taken out roller L, the roller finger 19 is opened as shown in Fig. 4, and then the hair to be trimmed is positioned between the roller finger 19 and the surface of the roller. When the application means 4 is turned, the hair is roundly wound on the roller L. FIG. The application means 4 are released from the roller attached to the hair with a pin, with the roller finger 19 slightly open and the protrusion 18 exiting from the receptacles 11, 11 ′.

In order to reduce the energy required for heating, each heating element 8, 8 ′ is provided with a micro switch that closes when the roller is fully positioned on the heating element. As a result, when the roller is removed, the switch opens so that no more current is supplied to the heating element. The roller L is shown individually in FIG. 4 and the ceramic coating area, which is the smooth surface of the roller L, is shown at 22. This coating 22 provides not only an insulating surface but also a particularly smooth surface. This smooth surface is not only advantageous for hair grooming, but also allows the roller to be easily removed from the hair, especially without messing the hair.

The roller, which is designed to itself consist only of collectors, is advantageous in its application as well as lightweight because the heat transfer to the hair to be groomed is improved by a smooth surface. The roller is preferably heated to a temperature between 90 ° C and 110 ° C, in particular between 95 ° C and 105 ° C. Due to the application means 4, this relatively hot roller can be applied without the risk of injury.

According to the above-described configuration of the present invention, the risk of contacting the heating element while handling the rollers can be substantially avoided, and in the case of hair rollers of different sizes according to the requirements, heating all the rollers to the required temperature almost simultaneously and In addition, excessive heating of the roller can be prevented.

In addition, the heat transfer to the hair to be groomed is improved and lightened by using the roller itself consisting only of the collector, and a relatively hot roller can be applied without the risk of injury due to the application means.
