Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair styling device with two mutually articulated, pincer-like movable against each other arms, each arm has a hair styling surface which cooperates at least partially with a hair shaping surface of the other arm for a hair shaping process.
  • Such hair styling devices are used for straightening hair or to form curls.
  • the mutually facing sides of such a hair styling device each have a hair styling surface, which are designed to straighten hair and thus in use of such a hair styling device straightener as just.
  • a strand of hair is placed in the area of its root between the two hair-shaping surfaces of the hair-styling device, the two arms closed and then drawn through the hair caught in the hair-forming gap between the two hair-shaping surfaces. This is done by a directed from the hair root towards the hair end movement of the hair styling device.
  • heat is applied to the hair being formed.
  • At least one of the two arms has a heating device for heating the hair shaping surface.
  • heat can also be supplied to the hair to be formed by a stream of hot air introduced into the arm or arms of the hair styling device. This is the case, for example, with so-called aircraft operators.
  • air outlet openings are arranged in the region of the hair shaping surface, through which the warm air introduced into the respective arm can be supplied to the hair inserted between the hair shaping surfaces of the arms.
  • Such hair-styling devices sometimes also have a curved outer side of their arms, with the closed arms typically forming a cylindrical or approximately cylindrical lateral surface in such an embodiment.
  • the outer surface is used when curls are to be formed with the hair styling device, so that at a such application the hair styling device has the function of a curling iron.
  • an arm of such a hair styling device has a hair-collecting finger, which is also pivotally mounted like a pliers against the outer surface of this arm.
  • Such a hair styling finger is designed in the manner of a two-armed lever whose shorter, in the handle portion of the hair styling device protruding arm actuation, while the other, by a spring element to the outside of the arm fitting part of the Haarer chargedsfingers the actual hair detection is used.
  • a strand of hair is inserted into the opened hair-grasping finger and thus between the hair-grasping finger and the outside of the arm-grasping finger, the hair-grasping finger is spring-biased to pinch the strand of hair to the outside of the arm and then the hair-styling device is rotated about its longitudinal axis to wrap the strand of hair on the closed arms.
  • hair styling devices have been designed with the above-described acting on the outer surface of an arm hair detection fingers. Desirable However, it would be if for detecting a strand of hair to form a curl with such a hair styling device it would not have a hair styling finger as described above.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop an aforementioned, generic hair styling device such that for detecting a strand of hair to form a curl hair styling finger, as described in the prior art, is not required.

  • At least one of the two arms has a hair-clamping element in the region of its hair-shaping surface pointing in the direction of the hair-shaping surface of the other arm. This is in its position of use and in the hairstyle gap located between the two arms protruding.
  • This hair clamp is adjustable between a non-use position and a use position. In the non-use position, the hair-clamping element is inactive and does not appear with respect to the hair-shaping surface in relation to the hair-shaping process to be performed therewith.
  • the hairclip is in its inoperative position lowered relative to the hair styling surface of this arm.
  • the hair-clamping element In the use position of the hair-clamping element, on the other hand, it protrudes projecting towards the other arm from the hair-shaping surface of this arm. In this position, the hair-clamping element is held by the force of at least one spring element. This support of the hair-clamping element allows it to be pressed against the force of the spring element in the arm while reducing the amount of its protruding from the hair-shaping portion.
  • the adjustment path of the hair-clamping element in this direction is until that in contact with the hair standing clamping surface of the hair clamp is located in the plane of the hair surface of this arm, not limited.
  • a strand of hair to form a curl in the hair styling gap between the two arms can be easily grasped and subsequently the hair styling device can be rotated about its longitudinal axis for winding the detected strand of hair around the outer surface of the two arms, without fear of that by gripping, due to the winding movement and an associated slight opening of the two arms against each other, the clamping effect on the detected hair would be canceled.
  • the hair-clamping element compensates over its possible amount of movement an opening of the two arms, through which opening otherwise the detected hair would be released.
  • the hair-clamping element can be designed in the manner of a sword whose longitudinal extent runs parallel to the longitudinal extension of the arm into which this clamping element is integrated. The facing to the other arm or to the hair-shaping surface of the other arm side surface then represents the clamping surface of such a hair-clamping element.
  • the hair-clamping element is expediently mounted in a floating manner, in particular seen in the longitudinal direction of the arm.
  • a floating storage ensures that even with an uneven hair capture and / or an angular arrangement of the hairline with each other form of hair shaping hair clip over its clamping surface seen at least as much as possible with the same bias against the other arm as an abutment, especially if between the Clamping element and the hair shaping surface of the other arm is arranged as an abutment a strand of hair.
  • the hair styling device can be used as such with respect to the hair shaping surfaces, which are typically designed as straighteners and encompass the hair styling gap
  • the hair clamping element is brought into a non-use position when not in use.
  • the clamping surface In the non-use position, the clamping surface is either in the plane of the hair surface or is slightly set back relative to this.
  • a mechanical actuating mechanism which may be performed for example as a drive.
  • the hair pin is from its non-use position in its position of use and vice versa brought from its position of use in its non-use position. It is envisaged that in the position of use of the hair-clamping element this is decoupled from the drive and is held in this position solely by the at least one spring element.
  • a designed as Straightener and curling iron hair styling device 1 has two hinged to each other, pliers like mutually adjustable arms 2, 3
