Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric hair styling device for shaping waves with a built-in handle warm air blower and with an electric motor driven by a rotating and powered by the hot air blower air stream hairbrush with a shaft and a protruding from the shaft bristles.
  • Such hair styling devices are used to form curls in a person's hair.
  • the hair is shaped by the electric motor driven by a rotary hair brush, supported by a stream of hot air, which brings the heat required for forming the hair to be formed.
  • the electric motor and the hot air blower with heater are typically housed in a tubular, serving as a handle housing.
  • the reshaped hairs are basically taken by the rotating hairbrush over more than one hair brush rotation, resulting in the above-described curling or screwing result.
  • the hairbrush is rolled into the hair to be reshaped like a curler.
  • Such a hair styling device is for example off DE 35 29 267 A1 known.
  • the electric motor driving the hairbrush is switched off in good time before the hairbrush is completely screwed into the hair tuft provided for shaping a curl, so that the pull acting on the tuft by the rotating hairbrush does not increase big and possibly painful.
  • the electric power supplied to the electric motor is limited by that Power supply of the hair brush driving electric motor is realized via a voltage tap on the heater.
  • Such an electric hair styling device is an alternative to a use of curlers. With this electric hair styling device, however, can not form waves, as this is sometimes desired. So-called hair drier waves can be formed conventionally only with a hand brush and a hair dryer, where it requires a lot of skill to train hair drier.
  • US Pat. No. 4,023,578 describes an electric hair styling device with a hair brush rotatably mounted on a handle for shaping hair waves.
  • the hairbrush itself is not powered.
  • the hair styling device described in this document is provided that the hair to be formed comes into contact with the sleeve of the hairbrush, as this has a certain heat storage capacity and the heat stored therein is to be transferred to the hair to be formed.
  • the hair is wrapped around the sleeve.
  • the bristles of this known hair styling device protrude only about 4 - 5 mm from the surface of this heat-storing sleeve.
  • each comb or bristle row is moved out of the sleeve and pulled into it due to its eccentric rotatable mounting relative to the sleeve, so that each row of combs or bristles has only one certain amount of rotation protrudes beyond the outer surface of the sleeve.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing an aforementioned electric hair styling device such that with this hair waves, especially so-called hair dryer waves can be easily formed.
  • the hair brush is designed such that a rotational drive on the hair to be formed only to the extent that basically a complete screwing the hair brush is avoided in the hair to be formed.
  • a certain rotational drive is necessary to keep the hair to be formed in a shape simulating the wave to be created for the necessary time for shaping the shaft.
  • the heat provided by the warm air flow supports the hair-styling process, wherein the hairbrush is expediently designed in the manner of an airbrush and the hot air stream flowing into the hairbrush enters an inner inflow channel of the hairbrush and is led out of it through the air outlet openings located in the hairbrush in the radial direction.
  • conditional rotational drive of the hair to be formed with a rotating hairbrush is achieved in that the radially outwardly facing top of the lateral surface of the shaft of the hairbrush has such a nature that transmitted from this no torque on the hair to be formed or at most only a negligibly small becomes.
  • This surface is therefore expediently highly smooth and / or has a coating to which the hair to be formed does not adhere when the hairbrush is rotating, as is the case, for example, with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating (PTFE coating).
  • PTFE coating polytetrafluoroethylene coating
  • the bristles of such a hairbrush may be considered moderately bristled in terms of the density of their bristles.
  • the individual bristle tufts themselves are expediently recessed in relation to the jacket surface of the hair dryer, it being provided that the actual anchoring of the foot of the bristle tufts is spaced from the lateral surface by a spacing opening.
  • the inwardly facing side of the spacer opening is spaced from the lateral surface of a bristle tuft so that it can be reciprocated within the spacer opening.
  • the distance opening serves the purpose that the bristle tufts already at the top of the lateral surface of the shank of the hairbrush have a certain softness or compliance and in this area are only loosely together. Hair gripped by such a bristle tuft, when attracted to the surface of the hair dryer, may also slide between the individual hairs of a bristle tuft without being jammed between the individual bristle hairs.
  • the clearance opening responsible for the compliance of the bristle tufts in the region of the jacket surface of the hair dryer may be of different geometry.
  • the distance opening may be, for example, an opening of circular cross-section. It is also possible to design the distance opening as a slot, wherein in such a configuration, the longitudinal extent of the elongated hole expediently has at least one portion pointing in the direction of rotation of the hairbrush. This is the case, for example, in the case of a slot whose longitudinal axis points in the direction of rotation of the hairbrush or whose longitudinal axis is aligned in a diagonal direction.
  • the spacing opening may directly adjoin an anchoring hole for anchoring a bristle tuft, whereby a stepped hole is formed.
  • the bristle tufts are anchored in a tube core, which is enclosed by a concentrically enclosing the tube core sleeve.
  • the outside of the sleeve then forms the top of the lateral surface of the hairbrush.
  • the sleeve may have on the outside, for example, a chrome-plated and thus highly smooth surface. This sleeve has bristle openings in the contour of the provided spacing openings.
  • annular gap is used firstly for spacing the bristle outlet from its anchoring holes and for the lateral surface of the shank formed by the sleeve. On the other hand, this serves to conduct an air flow, which is then supplied through the serving as clearance openings bristle openings of the sleeve to the reshaped hair.
  • the performance of the electric motor can be designed stronger. This is advantageously carried out in that the electric motor is not connected via a voltage tap to the heater of the hot air blower, but that the hair styling device has its own power connector for the electric motor used to rotate the hairbrush, such as a transformer. It is then possible to drive the hairbrush with a higher rotational speed, especially without having to accept a loss in terms of the performance of the heater.
  • An electric hair styling device 1 consists of a handle 2 and a hair brush 3.
  • an electric hot air blower is arranged in the handle 2 .
  • the handle 2 has air inlet openings at its rear end.
  • the hot air blower itself comprises a fan and an electric heater, via which the air flow conveyed by the fan is led to its heating.
  • an electric motor is arranged in the handle 2.
  • the electric motor is used to drive the hairbrush 3, the torque-locking with the drive shaft of the electric motor, if necessary, geared stocky, is connected.
  • the motor driven shaft on which the hairbrush 3 sits is in FIG. 1 denoted by the reference numeral 4.
  • the shaft 4 is led out of the front-side outlet of the handle 2 axially.
  • This front opening 5 of the handle 2 also serves as an air outlet opening for the funded by the handle 2 in the hot air flow.
  • the shaft 4 itself is designed as a hollow shaft and has inlet openings 6, so that the conveyed by the hot air blower hot air stream can enter the interior of the hollow shaft 4. This serves the purpose that the hot air flow or a portion of the hot air flow is conveyed into an inner inflow channel of the hairbrush 3.
  • This inflow channel is connected via air outlet openings 7 with the lateral surface 8 of the hairbrush 3, so that the air stream flowing into the inflow channel of the hairbrush 3 exit from the air outlet openings 7 and is fed to the hair to be formed.
  • the hairbrush 3 is closed at its front, the shaft 4 opposite end.
  • the hairbrush 3 consists of a substantially cylindrical shaft 9 with the lateral surface 8.
  • the lateral surface 8 of the shaft 9 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a sleeve 10 which, leaving an annular gap 11 (see. FIG. 2 ) concentrically encloses a tube core 12.
  • the tube core 12 in turn, includes the above-described inlet channel 13 of the hairbrush 3.
  • the sleeve 10 is based on the tubular core 12 integrally formed cylindrical extensions 14 from.
  • the tube core 12 is used to anchor the bristle tufts B of the hairbrush 3.
  • 12 anchoring holes 15 are introduced into the tube core, in which the bristle tufts B are set or anchored with her foot.
  • the sleeve 10 has bristle openings 16 through which the bristle tufts B pass.
  • the bristle openings 16 of the sleeve 10 have an inner width which is significantly larger than the diameter of an anchoring hole 15 provided for anchoring a bristle tuft B.
  • each bristle tuft B can readily be reciprocated within a bristle opening 6.
  • the individual bristles of the bristle tufts B are not compressed by the bristle opening 16.
  • the contour of the brush openings 16 the contour of a slot, which extends in its longitudinal extent diagonal to the rotational movement of the hair brush 3, as this in FIG. 1 is recognizable.
  • FIG. 1 only individual bristle tufts B are shown.
  • the tube core 12 is torsionally connected to the shaft 4.
  • the air flow conveyed by the hot air blower flows at least partially into the inflow channel 13 of the hair brush 12 and into the annular gap 11 formed by the sleeve 10. From the inflow passage 13, this hot air flow passes out of the hairbrush 3 through the air outlet openings 7 in the radial direction.
  • the sleeve 10 In alignment with the air outlet openings 7 of the tube core 12, the sleeve 10 also has corresponding air outlet openings, wherein inside the annular gap 11, a mixing with the airflow conveyed in the annular gap 11 takes place and the heated air also exits from the bristle openings 16. The entrained by the hot air flow heat is thus fed directly to the hair to be formed.
  • the bristle of the hairbrush 3 with respect to their density and the rigidity of the bristle tufts B is formed so that when rotating hairbrush 3 a rotational drive of the applied hairbrush 3 hair only over about 180 ° or something more.
  • the sleeve 10 has a chrome-plated surface so that it is particularly smooth. Therefore, a rotary driving with rotating hairbrush 3 of hair does not take place when they rest only on the lateral surface 8 of the shaft 9.
  • the spacing of the bristle tufts anchoring in the anchoring holes 15 of the tube core 12 from the lateral surface 8 of the shaft 9 has the result that the bristle tufts B have relatively soft properties as they pass through the bristle openings 16.
  • the hair grabbed by the bristle tufts B do not jam between the individual bristles of a bristle tuft B, resulting in the conditional rotational movement of the hair when the hairbrush is rotating. Also, the bristle tufts B are hardly affected in terms of their compliance with rotating hairbrush 3 in the bristle openings 16, which supports the desired, only conditional entrainment effect of the hair to be formed.
  • the hairbrush 3 is to be addressed as moderately bristled.
  • shaping hair with this hair styling device 1 can be formed by the rotary driving of the hair through the hair brush 3 to only about 180 ° waves.
  • the entrainment of the hair by the hairbrush 3 primarily serves the purpose of forming the desired waveform.
  • the rotating hairbrush 3 therefore serves as a mold, the hair-shaping process being assisted by the heat brought about by the stream of hot air.
  • FIG. 3 shows another hairbrush 17 for forming waves in the hair of a person, which is basically constructed as the hairbrush 3 of FIGS. 1 and 2 , In contrast to the hairbrush 3, however, the hairbrush 17 does not have an annular gap 11.
  • the tube core 18 also includes an inflow 19, which is connected by air outlet openings 20 with the outer surface of the hair brush 17.
  • the bristle tufts B are set in stepped, introduced radially into the tube core 18 holes 21, only the deepest portion serves as anchoring hole 22.
  • the upper part of a hole 21 - the part 23 - serves as a distance opening whose inside diameter is greater than the diameter of the anchoring hole 22 in order to achieve the desired properties of the bristle tufts B.
  • the lateral surface 24 of the hairbrush 17th is PTFE-coated. This coating is in FIG. 3 designated by the reference numeral 25.
  • the coating 25 is responsible for the fact that no adhesion between the hair to be formed and the lateral surface 24 of the hairbrush 17, at least not appreciable, is present.
  • the bristle tufts B react with rotating hairbrush 17 as well as the bristle tufts B of the previously described hairbrush 3.
  • the electric hair styling device additionally has an ionization device in order to support the hair styling process by electron donation.
  • an ionization device in order to support the hair styling process by electron donation.
  • a second development can be provided to arrange the hair brush releasably on the motor-driven shaft, so that it can be replaced by a different diameter. Such a hairbrush is then designed as an attachment.
