Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brush attachment for a hot-air hand-held device for hairdressing, for example a hair dryer, in particular one comprising a brush section with a plurality of bristle arrangements arranged on an axially rotatable bristle holder relative to an outer housing part, further comprising a device for actuating the bristle holder for pulling in or pulling out the Bristle arrangements and a coupling section with means for attaching the brush attachment to a handheld warm air device.
  • Such brush attachments are usually designed as round brushes, the bristles being arranged in individual rows of bristles as a bristle arrangement and being mounted in a bristle holder which is rotatable relative to an outer tube serving as an outer housing part.
  • An actuating device is kinematically connected to the bristle holder in such a way that actuation of the actuating member results in a rotational movement of the bristle holder, so that the bristles are drawn into the outer tube in their one position.
  • Round brushes with retractable bristles or bristle arrangements are used in order to first form a curl and then to be able to release the still warm curl to increase the clamping force.
  • a pressure mechanism can be provided as an actuating device at the tip of the brush attachment, which is arranged axially in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the bristle holder.
  • actuating member of this actuating device With the actuating member of this actuating device, a translatory movement is exerted with respect to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder for pulling in the bristles, which translatory movement is converted into a rotary movement of the bristle holder via a screw drive.
  • round brushes with retractable bristles known, at the tip of a rotary mechanism is arranged so that the bristles can be retracted or extracted by rotating the front tip of the brush attachment.
  • Such a brush attachment comprises, at its end opposite the actuating device, a coupling section with suitable means for attaching the same to a warm-air hand-held device, which connecting means can be designed, for example, in a bayonet-like manner.
  • the interior of the brush attachment is designed so that the warm air stream blown out by the warm air hand-held device can be blown into the brush attachment and out through circumferentially arranged openings.
  • a disadvantage of these known brush attachments is that a hot air handheld device equipped with such a brush attachment can only be operated with two hands as a so-called hair curler.
  • the handheld warm air device must be held and operated with one hand; the brush attachment must be operated with the other hand if the bristle arrangement is to be drawn in to release a curl.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a generic brush attachment for a warm air handheld device such that a hot air handheld device equipped with such a brush attachment can be operated with one hand.
  • the actuating device is arranged in the region of the coupling section of the brush attachment and in that the actuating device has an actuating member which can be moved radially to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder and which is connected to a coupling piece which engages with the bristle holder for transmitting the radially Axis of rotation of the bristle holder acts on the rotatable bristle holder in the direction of movement of the actuating member.
  • the actuating device is provided in the area of the coupling section of the brush attachment and thus directly in the area of the handheld warm air device.
  • the actuating device can therefore easily be gripped and operated with the hand with which the warm air hand-held device is held.
  • the actuating device itself is designed det that this comprises a radially movable to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder actuator which engages on an engaging with the bristle holder coupling piece for transmitting the radially directed to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder movement of the actuator on the rotatable bristle holder.
  • the bristles are pulled out by a pressure movement, for example carried out with the thumb, against the already encircled housing of the warm-air hand-held device. It is envisaged that the pressure actuation expediently takes place against the force of a spring element, so that the actuating device is automatically returned to the starting position in which the bristles are displayed.
  • the coupling piece of the actuating device is a lever lying transversely to the actuating direction of the actuating member and transversely to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder.
  • This lever is pivotally mounted on the housing side and can be designed, for example, as a one-armed or also as a two-armed lever. This lever converts the actuation movement provided radially to the axis of rotation of the bristle holder into a rotary movement of the bristle holder.
  • a one-armed lever of the coupling piece one end of which is fixedly mounted with respect to the rotational movement of the bristle holder and the free, movable end of which engages with the bristle holder, the actuating member acting on the lever between these two lever ends.
  • the determination of the point of application of the actuating device on the lever depends on the desired amount of movement of the actuating device and the intended actuating pressure for exerting a bristle retraction.
  • the brush attachment according to the invention can be designed such that the actuating member can be operated directly by the user or that it is designed as a plunger which can be actuated by a lever articulated on the housing of the brush attachment.

  • Fig. 5 a schematic cross section through the brush attachment of Figure 1 along the line A-B with the bristles flared.
  • a brush attachment 1 for a hot air handheld device for styling, not shown, comprises a brush section 2 which is round in cross section.
  • the brush section 2 is formed by an outer cylindrical tube 3 serving as an outer housing part, into which openings 4 are made at intervals.
  • a bristle holder 5 arranged rotatably with respect to the outer tube 3 is mounted within the outer tube 3.
  • Radially surrounding the bristle holder 5, rows of bristles 6 are provided as bristle arrangements, each consisting of a bristle strip 7 and bristles 8 located thereon.
  • FIG. 1 shows only one row of bristles with only, for example, stenschiene 7 arranged bristles 8 shown.
  • Each row of bristles 6 is pivotally connected to the bristle holder 5 with its bristle rail 7.
  • the individual posts 8 of a row of bristles 6 pass through openings 4 of the outer tube 3 through the outer tube 3.
  • the front tip of the outer tube 3 is closed by a plug 9 which is rounded on the front.
  • the plug 9 carries axially a socket 10, in which the bristle holder 5 is mounted on the front.
  • the brush section 2 borders on a coupling section 11, the diameter of which is larger than that of the brush section 2.
  • the coupling section 11 ends at the end in an adapter 12 in the form of a sleeve, by means of which the brush attachment 1 can be plugged onto a handheld warm air device, not shown in the figures.
  • an actuating device 13 for actuating the bristle holder 5 for pulling the bristle rows 6 in and out is provided.
  • the actuating device 13 comprises an actuating member 14 designed as a plunger, which is mounted so as to be movable radially to the axis of rotation 15 of the bristle holder 5 in accordance with the direction of the arrow.
  • the actuating member 14 is supported on the underside on a compression spring 16 so that it can be moved against the force of the compression spring 16 relative to the axis of rotation 15 of the bristle holder 5.
  • a one-armed lever 17 which serves as a coupling piece, is provided transversely to the axis of rotation 15 of the bristle holder 5 and transversely to the direction of actuation of the actuator 14.
  • the lever 17 carries at its end a pin 18 which is rotatably mounted in an annular body 19, which in turn is screwed to the coupling section 11.
  • the other end of the lever 17 engages with a further pin 20 in a receptacle assigned to the bristle holder 5.
  • the actuator 14 engages on the lever 17 between the two pins 18, 20.
  • the actuator 14 can be actuated by an operating lever 21 which is pivotally articulated on the outside of the brush attachment 1.
  • the pivot axis of the operating lever 21 is designated by the reference numeral 22 records.
  • the coupling section of a further brush attachment 23, not shown, is shown.
  • the brush attachment 23 corresponds to the brush attachment 1 in FIG. 1; therefore the same elements are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the only difference between the brush attachment 23 and the brush attachment 1 is that not a plunger but a button 24 is used as the actuator, which is operated directly.
  • the elements used for the operating device 13, namely the button 24, the lever 17 and the ring body 19 which can be fastened on the housing side, appear particularly clearly from this figure. Corresponding arrow representations reflect the possible movement and the corresponding course of movement. From the view of the brush attachment 23 shown in FIG. 3, the interaction of the individual elements, the button 24, the lever 17, the ring body 19 and the bristle holder 5 becomes clear.
  • the lever 17 is mounted with its pin 18 in the ring body 19 in a stationary but rotatable manner.
  • the other end of the lever 17 engages with its pin 20 in a receptacle 25 formed on the bristle holder 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows the brush attachment 23 with the button 24 actuated and thus moved into the coupling section 11 of the brush attachment 23.
  • the button 24 is released, it is moved out of the brush attachment 23 by the energy stored in the compression spring 16, as a result of which the lever 17 is pivoted about its pin 18 and is rotated back by a certain angular amount by the rotational driving of the pin 20 of the bristle holder 5.
