Abstract

The invention concerns a wig with an inner surface of its cap being, at least partly, made of flexible and self-adhesive parts. The inner surface includes a polysiloxane coat or film, oriented so as to be applied on the skin of the user's head, when said wig is worn.

Description

Wig provided with a flexible element self-adhering

The present invention relates to an element flexible and self-adhesive applicable to wigs in order to contribute  to its support in the desired position on the head of the users, applying the invention, in this case, to all types of false hair, whatever your destiny (wigs, hairpieces, hair accessories), even to other types of hairstyles.

The invention also relates to wigs provided with such flexible anti-slip elements or non-slip

It is known that false hair, wigs and similar, they comprise an internal support, very often constituted by a network of a particular type, on which the natural or artificial hair, the support being provided internal fixing means of the wig on the head of the Username. These fixing means are very natural diverse.

According to a current mode of execution, the wigs comprise a bonnet composed of elastic fabric strips on which the "wefts" or "frames" that are sewn are sewn they support the hair, in order to form a hat. These strips Elastic are similar to those commonly used in lingerie (bra straps or others); they can be more or less thick, more or less wide, even more or less elastic (elongation different).

A wig must, in theory, satisfy following needs:

-

allow easy and quick placement of the wig on the user's head;

-

be what lighter possible;

-

adhere enough to not slide;

-

be inert with respect to the user's skin;

-

be washable and retain its properties over time;

-

present the closest look possible to natural hair;

-

power be easily combed;

-

allow to remove it easily and almost instantly.

They must not, on the other hand, have effects traumatic on the user's skin.

Different wigs offered in the market respond to some of the needs mentioned above but None of them give complete satisfaction.

To respond to maximum demands mentioned above, the Applicant has already proposed (WO-99/44452) a wig whose inner support or cap is provided internally with flexible parts Slippers fixed on its inner face and constituted by a stretch fabric impregnated with a substance that forms a thin stretchable film on at least the face intended to enter contact with the skin of the skull of the user, presenting said stretchable thin film a non-stick non-slip surface or non-adhesive at temperatures below its temperature softening, for example at room temperature, after impregnation of said fabric and drying.

According to the embodiment described in the aforementioned document, the thin film of substance adhesive that permeates the stretch fabric and that covers at least one of the faces of said fabric, it is constituted by a mixture of two tails selected in the polyurethane class.

Thanks to the non-slip parts that include the aforementioned features, the wig provided of such pieces:

-

may be quickly and easily positioned by the user, without resorting to a specialist;

-

have better retention on the head, with respect to the products previous and does not cause discomfort;

-

may be removed easily and instantly, without unpleasant effect or traumatic.

The wig described in the document WO-99/44452 thus represents great progress. with respect to the products proposed above.

However, it has been considered desirable to create a new material that you provide in particular:

-

a touch feeling even softer and more comfortable with the product user skin;

-

a better neutrality or inertia with respect to the skin;

-

improvement of the qualities of adhesion on the skin.

In EP-1,036,554, it describes an embossed makeup composition of the materials keratin According to an embodiment of this composition, indicates that it may contain a film forming polyurethane that includes at least one siliconized sequence, branched or not, for example, polydimethylsiloxane or polymethylphenylsiloxane, and that this makeup composition can be applied on accessories various makeup such as false nails, false eyelashes, wigs, or also on sticky pads or patches on the skin or on the lips (false moles).

The invention therefore wants to propose a wig that has the advantages sought, cited previously.

This objective is achieved, according to the invention, thanks to a wig that has the characteristics listed in the independent claim and in the claims Dependents

The invention provides the advantages sought, listed above and interesting features following:

-

he flexible and self-adhesive element allows the direct implementation of natural or artificial hair on said element;

-

the polysiloxane film has adhesion qualities whose effect it is accentuated after a fairly short time, upon contact with the skin;

-

the elastic properties of the flexible element are preserved with the time and are not affected by frequent washing.

The objectives, characteristics and advantages before mentioned and others, will stand out better from the description that follow and of the attached drawing in which:

- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a flexible and self-adhesive element used for the realization of the wig according to the invention.

- Figure 2 is a perspective view of schematic character of the back of a wig provided with such flexible and self-adhesive elements.

Reference is made to said drawing to describe an interesting example of realization, although not at all limiting, a flexible self-adhesive element and a wig according to the invention.

The flexible and self-adhesive element 1 according to the invention is composed of a flexible fabric 2 of which at least one face is coated with a thin layer or polysiloxane film 3 applied by a coating procedure known in yes, on said support fabric.

Preferably, the thin layer or film 3 it is constituted by a monocomponent polysiloxane and / or by example, for a solvent-free polysiloxane.

The support fabric 2 is advantageously constituted by an elastic fabric, which can be stretched preferably in several directions. It can be a tissue of chain and weft, of a mesh fabric or a non-woven fabric, so that said fabric 2 and its polysiloxane coating 3, also have two-dimensional elastic properties.

The weight of the polysiloxane layer or film 3 deposited on the fabric is between 100 and 300 g / m2.

The wig 4 according to the invention is notable for the fact that the inner surface 5 of his cap is constituted, at least in part, by flexible and self-adhesive parts 1 described above, whose inner face constituted by the layer or film of polysiloxane 3 is oriented so that it is applied on the skin of the skull of the user, when he wears wig.

When the wig comprises a bonnet or hat composed of strips of elastic fabric on which they are sewn or otherwise added the "wefts" or "wefts" that they support the hair, at least some of these strips are consisting of flexible and self-adhering elements 1, 2, 3 previously described, on which the hair is fixed 6, natural or artificial.

       \ newpage
    

Advantageously, all elastic strips on which the "wefts" or "frames" that are sewn are sewn they support the hair 6, they are constituted by flexible pieces and Self-adhesive 1 described above.

This provision allows the base of the wig and improve its retention on the head, thanks to the fact that the non-slip film or layer 3 covers a contact area more important and is therefore applied on a greater surface, from the forehead to the nape of the user. Many points are reinforced and allow very reliable adhesion on the skin or hair of the user.

According to another characteristic provision, the 6 hairs, natural or artificial, are implanted directly in flexible and self-adhesive strips 1-2-3, through its end lower.
