Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil de coiffure qui comprend une unité de traitement par vapeur destinée à traiter les cheveux par vaporisation en vue de leur mise forme. Outre la vaporisation des cheveux, l'unité de traitement de cet appareil de coiffure peut également être configurée pour chauffer les cheveux en vue de leur mise en forme. Un tel appareil de coiffure permet par exemple, selon sa configuration, de réaliser le lissage, le bouclage ou le gaufrage des cheveux.The present invention relates to a hairdressing apparatus which comprises a steam treatment unit for treating the hair by spraying with a view to shaping it. In addition to vaporizing the hair, the processing unit of this styling device can also be configured to heat the hair for shaping. Such a hairstyling appliance makes it possible, for example, depending on its configuration, to smooth, curl or emboss the hair.

Il est connu des appareils de coiffure qui permettent le lissage, le bouclage ou le gaufrage des cheveux. Ces appareils de coiffure comprennent une unité de traitement portable constituée notamment de deux bras, ou mâchoires, qui comportent chacun une surface de traitement pouvant être plane ou incurvée. Les deux bras sont articulés entre eux pour former une pince configurée pour pincer les cheveux entre les deux surfaces disposées en vis-à-vis, lors du rapprochement des deux bras. Ces deux bras comprennent également une zone de préhension permettant l'ouverture et la fermeture de la pince ainsi que sa manipulation durant le coiffage. Au moins l'une de ces deux surfaces comporte un dispositif chauffant permettant le traitement par chauffe des cheveux lors de leur pincement entre les deux surfaces. Le lissage d'une mèche de cheveux s'effectue en pinçant la mèche entre les deux surfaces et en déplaçant la pince fermée le long de cette mèche, de la racine vers la pointe. Le bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux s'effectue en pinçant la mèche entre les deux surfaces et en enroulant au moins partiellement cette mèche autour des surfaces, la chaleur permettant de fixer la boucle de cheveux.Hairdressing devices are known which allow straightening, curling or crimping of the hair. These hairdressing devices comprise a portable treatment unit consisting in particular of two arms, or jaws, which each comprise a treatment surface which may be flat or curved. The two arms are articulated together to form a clamp configured to clamp the hair between the two surfaces arranged vis-à-vis, when the two arms are brought together. These two arms also include a gripping zone allowing the opening and closing of the clamp as well as its manipulation during styling. At least one of these two surfaces comprises a heating device allowing the treatment by heating the hair when it is pinched between the two surfaces. The straightening of a lock of hair is done by pinching the lock between the two surfaces and moving the closed clamp along this lock, from the root to the tip. The curling of a lock of hair is carried out by pinching the lock between the two surfaces and by at least partially wrapping this lock around the surfaces, the heat making it possible to fix the curl of hair.

Pour améliorer la mise en forme des cheveux, il est connu d'utiliser en complément du traitement par chauffe, un traitement par vapeur, ladite vapeur étant projetée sur les cheveux, comme par exemple le décrit l'appareil de coiffure selon US1691244A1 . A ce titre, la demanderesse a déjà développé un appareil de coiffure à vapeur qui est décrit dans la demande de brevet publiée sous le numéro FR2967017A1 . Outre les caractéristiques techniques décrites ci-dessus, l'appareil de coiffure selon FR2967017A1 comprend une base déportée par rapport à l'unité de traitement portable et raccordée à celle-ci au moyen d'un cordon. La base comprend un réservoir à eau et une pompe permettant, lors de son activation, de pomper l'eau dans le réservoir pour alimenter la pince. L'un des bras de l'unité de traitement portable comprend une chambre de vaporisation équipée d'un dispositif chauffant. Lorsque l'appareil de coiffure a atteint ses conditions optimales d'utilisation et que l'utilisateur souhaite utiliser la vapeur pour son coiffage, la pompe injecte de l'eau dans la chambre de vaporisation ; cette eau se vaporise sous l'action du dispositif chauffant puis la vapeur est projetée sur les cheveux par le biais de moyens de projection agencés sur ledit bras. Ainsi, la pince permet le traitement des cheveux par chauffe et par vapeur.To improve the shaping of the hair, it is known to use, in addition to the heating treatment, a steam treatment, said steam being projected onto the hair, as for example described by the hairdressing device according to US1691244A1 . As such, the Applicant has already developed a steam styling appliance which is described in the patent application published under number FR2967017A1 . In addition to the technical characteristics described above, the styling device according to FR2967017A1 comprises a base offset from the portable processing unit and connected to the latter by means of a cord. The base includes a water tank and a pump allowing, when activated, to pump water into the tank to feed the clamp. One of the arms of the portable processing unit comprises a vaporization chamber equipped with a heating device. When the hairdressing device has reached its optimum conditions of use and the user wishes to use the steam for his styling, the pump injects water into the vaporization chamber; this water vaporizes under the action of the heating device and then the vapor is projected onto the hair by means of projection means arranged on said arm. Thus, the clamp allows the treatment of the hair by heating and by steam.

On connait également le brevet EP1515629 B1 qui divulgue un appareil de coiffure du type lisseur permettant le lissage des cheveux. Cet appareil de coiffure comprend deux bras formant une pince, qui comprennent chacun une surface de traitement plane chauffante. Ces surfaces planes permettent de pincer une mèche de cheveux lors de la fermeture de ladite pince. En outre, ces bras comprennent chacun une chambre de vaporisation configurée pour projeter de la vapeur vers l'extérieur au travers de la surface plane chauffante respective. La projection de vapeur vers l'extérieur des deux bras présente pour avantage de vaporiser la mèche de cheveux pincée entre les deux surfaces planes chauffantes, sur ses deux faces opposées.We also know the patent EP1515629 B1 which discloses a styling device of the straightener type allowing the straightening of the hair. This hairdressing appliance comprises two arms forming a clamp, each of which comprises a heating planar treatment surface. These flat surfaces make it possible to pinch a lock of hair when closing said clamp. Further, these arms each include a vaporization chamber configured to project vapor outwardly through the respective flat heating surface. The projection of steam towards the outside of the two arms has the advantage of vaporizing the lock of hair pinched between the two flat heating surfaces, on its two opposite faces.

La présente invention vise à optimiser la conception des appareils de coiffure présentant un effet technique similaire à celui précité de l'appareil de coiffure décrit dans le brevet EP 1 515 629 B1 , à savoir la projection de vapeur vers l'extérieur des deux bras pour vaporiser la mèche de cheveux sur ses deux côtés opposés. La conception de l'appareil de coiffure selon l'invention permet avantageusement de réduire son coût de fabrication, son poids, son encombrement. Elle permet en outre d'obtenir une meilleure qualité du traitement par vapeur. D'autres avantages apparaîtront toutefois dans la description suivante.The present invention aims to optimize the design of hairdressing devices exhibiting a technical effect similar to that mentioned above of the hairdressing device described in the patent.

The design of the hairdressing appliance according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to reduce its manufacturing cost, its weight and its bulk. It also makes it possible to obtain a better quality of the steam treatment. However, other advantages will appear in the following description.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un appareil de coiffure selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a hairdressing appliance according to claim 1.

Ainsi la vapeur projetée par les premiers moyens de projection atteint plus facilement le déflecteur sans perte importante de débit, ce qui permet d'optimiser le renvoi de vapeur en sens inverse par ledit déflecteur.In a preferred embodiment, the transfer system comprises means configured to facilitate the projection of the steam through the lock of hair. Thus the steam projected by the first projection means more easily reaches the deflector without significant loss of flow, which makes it possible to optimize the return of steam in the opposite direction by said deflector.

Selon une première conception de ce mode préférentiel, les premiers moyens de projection comprennent des dents qui sont munies chacune d'au moins un orifice de projection de la vapeur en direction du déflecteur. Cette conception permet aux dents de passer au travers de la mèche de cheveux puis de projeter directement de la vapeur sur le déflecteur, ce qui présente pour avantage de garantir le renvoi de cette vapeur par le déflecteur, quelle que soit la densité de la mèche de cheveux qui conditionne le passage de la vapeur au travers de celle-ci. Ainsi, cette conception garantit une vaporisation équilibrée sur les deux côtés de la mèche de cheveux, quel que soit le type de cheveux coiffé.According to a first design of this preferred embodiment, the first projection means comprise teeth which are each provided with at least one orifice for projecting steam in the direction of the deflector. This design allows the teeth to pass through the lock of hair and then spray steam directly onto the deflector, which has the advantage of ensuring that this steam is returned through the deflector, regardless of the density of the lock. hair which conditions the passage of steam to through it. Thus, this design ensures balanced vaporization on both sides of the hair strand, regardless of the type of hair being styled.

Selon une seconde conception de ce mode préférentiel, le bord longitudinal du déflecteur disposé en partie aval, présente la forme d'un peigne configuré pour venir en contact avec la mèche de cheveux et la peigner. Cela permet de préparer la mèche de cheveux et d'aérer lesdits cheveux avant la projection de vapeur par les premiers moyens de projection sur le premier bras et, ainsi, de faciliter le passage de la vapeur au travers de ladite mèche de cheveux et la projection de la vapeur vers le déflecteur sans perte importante de débit.According to a second design of this preferred embodiment, the longitudinal edge of the deflector disposed in the downstream part has the shape of a comb configured to come into contact with the lock of hair and comb it. This makes it possible to prepare the lock of hair and to ventilate said hair before the projection of steam by the first projection means on the first arm and, thus, to facilitate the passage of the steam through said lock of hair and the projection. of steam to the deflector without significant loss of flow.

Alternativement, le bord longitudinal du déflecteur peut comprendre un rouleau. Le rouleau peut être mobile librement autour de son axe longitudinal. Ceci permet d'améliorer le déplacement de l'appareil le long de la mèche, sans la marquer de façon non souhaitée par le bord longitudinal.Alternatively, the longitudinal edge of the deflector can include a roller. The roller can be freely movable around its longitudinal axis. This makes it possible to improve the movement of the apparatus along the bit, without marking it in an undesirable manner by the longitudinal edge.

Selon l'invention, le déflecteur a la forme d'une cuvette qui présente une section transversale en goutte d'eau. Cette forme permet de renvoyer la vapeur selon une trajectoire inclinée vers l'extérieur par rapport à la surface de traitement du second bras et vers le bord du bras, pour déporter la projection de vapeur sur ledit bras. Lorsque la projection de vapeur est déportée du côté aval du bras, la vapeur est projetée en aval sur le second côté de la mèche de cheveux. Une telle projection en aval présente pour avantage d'anticiper la projection de vapeur sur la mèche de cheveux et, ainsi, de favoriser la formation du condensat avant le pincement de ladite mèche de cheveux, ce qui est bénéfique pour le traitement de la mèche de cheveux. Ce sens aval est défini en tenant compte du sens de déplacement de l'unité de traitement portable lorsque les deux bras pincent la mèche de cheveux, durant le coiffage, la projection de vapeur étant réalisée préalablement au pincement de la mèche de cheveux.According to the invention, the deflector has the shape of a bowl which has a teardrop cross section. This form makes it possible to return the steam along a trajectory inclined outwardly relative to the treatment surface of the second arm and towards the edge of the arm, in order to deport the projection of steam onto said arm. When the steam projection is deported to the downstream side of the arm, the steam is projected downstream to the second side of the lock of hair. Such a downstream projection has the advantage of anticipating the projection of steam on the lock of hair and, thus, of promoting the formation of condensate before the pinching of said lock of hair, which is beneficial for the treatment of the lock of hair. hair. This downstream direction is defined taking into account the direction of movement of the portable processing unit when the two arms pinch the lock of hair, during styling, the spraying of steam being carried out prior to the pinching of the lock of hair.

Selon une première conception envisageable pour l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, les premiers moyens de projection comprennent des buses, par exemple une rampe de buses, ces buses étant orientées vers l'extérieur, sur la face interne du premier bras, à proximité de la surface de traitement dudit premier bras.According to a first conceivable design for the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention, the first projection means comprise nozzles, for example a nozzle array, these nozzles being oriented outwards, on the internal face of the first arm, near the treatment surface of said first arm.

Selon une seconde conception envisageable pour l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, les premiers moyens de projection comprennent une fente de projection configurée pour projeter la vapeur uniformément et en continu, vers l'extérieur de la face interne du premier bras, tout le long et à proximité de la surface de traitement dudit premier bras. On pourrait également envisager une telle fente de projection pour les seconds moyens de projections sur le second bras, concernant le premier mode de réalisation de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention.According to a second design that can be envisaged for the hairdressing device that is the subject of the invention, the first projection means comprise a projection slot configured to project the steam uniformly and continuously, towards the outside of the internal face of the first arm, all along and near the treatment surface of said first arm. Such a projection slot could also be envisaged for the second projection means on the second arm, relating to the first embodiment of the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention.

L'appareil de coiffure selon l'invention présentant les caractéristiques précitées, peut avoir différente configuration. Ainsi, selon l'invention, l'appareil de coiffure peut avoir des surfaces configurées pour permettre le lissage, le bouclage et/ou le gaufrage des cheveux.The hairdressing appliance according to the invention having the aforementioned characteristics can have different configuration. Thus, according to the invention, the styling appliance can have surfaces configured to allow straightening, curling and / or crimping of the hair.

Dans la description suivante, les mêmes références sont utilisées pour désigner les caractéristiques identiques ou similaires selon les différentes variantes de conception de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention qui sont décrites à l'appui des figures 1 à 10.In the following description, the same references are used to designate the identical or similar characteristics according to the different design variants of the hairdressing appliance which is the subject of the invention which are described in support of the figures 1 to 10 .

Sur la figure 1, l'appareil de coiffure 1 objet de l'invention est un lisseur de cheveux. Celui-ci comprend une unité de traitement portable 2 et une base déportée 3, raccordées entre elles au moyen d'un cordon 4 qui permet d'alimenter en électricité et en eau l'unité de traitement portable 2 depuis la base 3. Cette base 3 comprend un réservoir d'eau et une pompe de circulation d'eau et est alimentée électriquement au moyen d'une prise de raccordement électrique. Ces caractéristiques sont déjà connues de l'homme du métier. On les retrouve notamment dans la demande de brevet FR2967017A1 déposée par la demanderesse. Alternativement, le réservoir d'eau et la pompe peuvent être insérés dans l'unité de traitement portable, ne nécessitant ainsi pas la présence d'une base déportée.On the figure 1 , the hairdressing device 1 object of the invention is a hair straightener. This comprises a portable treatment unit 2 and a remote base 3, interconnected by means of a cord 4 which enables the portable treatment unit 2 to be supplied with electricity and water from the base 3. This base 3 comprises a water tank and a water circulation pump and is supplied electrically by means of an electrical connection socket. These characteristics are already known to those skilled in the art. They are found in particular in the patent application FR2967017A1 filed by the plaintiff. Alternatively, the water tank and the pump can be inserted into the portable treatment unit, thus not requiring the presence of a remote base.

L'unité de traitement portable 2 comprend deux bras 5, 6 - également appelés mâchoires - articulés entre eux au moyen d'une liaison pivot 7, ce qui permet de constituer une pince. Les deux bras 5, 6 comprennent chacun sur leur face interne et au niveau de leur partie distale 5a, 6a, une surface de traitement chauffante 8, 9. Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, les surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 sont planes, sous la forme de deux plaques. Bien entendu des variantes sont envisageables avec des surfaces de traitement chauffantes incurvées, comme notamment sur les appareils de coiffure du type boucleur de cheveux, voire des surfaces de traitement chauffantes ondulées, comme notamment sur les appareils de coiffure du type gaufreur de cheveux. On pourrait en outre envisager des variantes de réalisation avec seulement une des deux surfaces de traitement qui soit chauffante, l'autre surface de traitement contribuant au pincement de la mèche de cheveux pour sa mise en forme. Dans la description ci-après, les deux surfaces de traitement 8, 9 sont chauffantes.The portable processing unit 2 comprises two arms 5, 6 - also called jaws - articulated together by means of a pivot connection 7, which makes it possible to constitute a clamp. The two arms 5, 6 each comprise on their internal face and at their distal part 5a, 6a, a heating treatment surface 8, 9. According to the embodiment of the figure 1 , the heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 are flat, in the form of two plates. Of course, variants can be envisaged with curved heating treatment surfaces, such as in particular on styling devices of the hair curler type, or even wavy heating treatment surfaces, such as in particular on styling devices of the hair embosser type. It would also be possible to envisage variant embodiments with only one of the two treatment surfaces which is heating, the other treatment surface contributing to the pinching of the lock of hair for its shaping. In the description below, the two treatment surfaces 8, 9 are heated.

Les deux bras 5, 6 comprennent chacun une partie proximale 5b, 6b. Ces deux parties proximales 5b, 6b peuvent concomitamment être empoignées avec une main, ce qui permet la manipulation de l'unité de traitement portable 2 et la fermeture de la pince lorsque les deux parties proximales 5b, 6b sont enserrées. Lors de la fermeture de la pince, les surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 disposées en vis-à-vis viennent en contact l'une contre l'autre, ce qui permet le pincement d'une mèche de cheveux disposée entre ces deux surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9. Un ressort 10 agencé entre les deux bras 5, 6 à proximité de la liaison pivot 7, permet l'ouverture de la pince lorsqu'on cesse de la serrer avec la main.The two arms 5, 6 each comprise a proximal part 5b, 6b. These two proximal parts 5b, 6b can simultaneously be gripped with one hand, which allows the handling of the portable processing unit 2 and the closing of the clamp when the two proximal parts 5b, 6b are gripped. When closing the clamp, the heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 arranged facing each other come into contact with each other, which allows the pinching of a lock of hair arranged between these two surfaces. heating treatment 8, 9. A spring 10 arranged between the two arms 5, 6 near the pivot connection 7, allows the opening of the clamp when it ceases to be tightened with the hand.

Comme illustré en figure 1, le premier bras 5 comprend au niveau de sa partie distale 5a, une chambre de vaporisation 11 qui permet la création de vapeur qui sera projetée sur la mèche de cheveux avant d'être pincée entre les deux surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 de la pince en position fermée.As shown in figure 1 , the first arm 5 comprises at its distal part 5a, a vaporization chamber 11 which allows the creation of steam which will be projected onto the lock of hair before being clamped between the two heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 of the clamp in closed position.

Dans une réalisation, l'unité de traitement portable 2 de l'appareil de coiffure 1 selon l'invention pourra reprendre des caractéristiques techniques similaires à celles décrites dans la demande de brevet FR2967017A1 déposée par la demanderesse, quant à la mise en œuvre des surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 et de la chambre de vaporisation 11, avec tous les avantages que procure une telle conception. Des variantes restent bien entendu envisageables pour ces éléments, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, les surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 et la chambre de vaporisation 11 comprennent chacune un dispositif de chauffe constitué d'une thermistance à coefficient de température positif, dit CTP, et un dispositif de mesure de la température du dispositif de chauffe constitué d'une thermistance à coefficient de température négatif, dit CTN. Dans une variante de réalisation avec seulement une des deux surfaces de traitement qui est chauffante, l'autre surface de traitement contribuant uniquement au pincement de la mèche de cheveux pour sa mise en forme, ladite unité de traitement comprend seulement deux thermistances à coefficient de température positif et deux thermistances à coefficient de température négatif, voire sur certaines variantes connues, une seule thermistance à coefficient de température négatif mesurant la température des deux thermistances à coefficient de température positif.In one embodiment, the portable processing unit 2 of the hairdressing appliance 1 according to the invention may take up technical characteristics similar to those described in the application for patent FR2967017A1 filed by the plaintiff, as to the implementation of the heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 and of the vaporization chamber 11, with all the advantages that such a design provides. Variants are of course possible for these elements, without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 and the vaporization chamber 11 each comprise a heating device consisting of a thermistor with a positive temperature coefficient, called PTC, and a device for measuring the temperature of the heating device consisting of 'a thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient, known as CTN. In an alternative embodiment with only one of the two treatment surfaces which is heating, the other treatment surface contributing only to the pinching of the lock of hair for its shaping, said treatment unit comprises only two temperature coefficient thermistors. positive and two thermistors with negative temperature coefficient, or even on certain known variants, a single thermistor with negative temperature coefficient measuring the temperature of the two thermistors with positive temperature coefficient.

Sur les figures 2 à 4 sont illustrées diverses variantes d'un mode de conception ne faisant pas partie de l'invention de l'unité de traitement 2 sur l'appareil de coiffure 1.On the figures 2 to 4 are illustrated various variants of a design mode not forming part of the invention of the processing unit 2 on the hairdressing appliance 1.

Sur le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, l'unité de traitement portable 2 comprend un premier bras 5 qui comporte des premiers moyens de projection 12 munis d'une fente 13 dirigée vers l'extérieur de la face interne 14 du bras. Cette fente 13 s'étend longitudinalement entre le bord 9a de la surface de traitement chauffante 9, à proximité de cette surface de traitement chauffante 9, et le bord 14a de la face interne 14 du bras 5, comme illustré sur la figure 2. Cette fente 13 s'étend à l'intérieur de la partie distale 5a du premier bras 5 et communique avec la chambre de vaporisation 11 illustrée en figure 1. Ainsi, la vapeur passe au travers des moyens de projection 12 et est projetée vers l'extérieur du premier bras 5 en passant au travers de la fente 13, ce qui permet de créer un rideau de vapeur dirigé vers l'extérieur du premier bras 5 à proximité de la surface de traitement chauffante 9.On the embodiment of the figure 2 , the portable processing unit 2 comprises a first arm 5 which comprises first projection means 12 provided with a slot 13 directed towards the outside of the internal face 14 of the arm. This slot 13 extends longitudinally between the edge 9a of the heating treatment surface 9, close to this heating treatment surface 9, and the edge 14a of the internal face 14 of the arm 5, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 . This slot 13 extends inside the distal part 5a of the first arm 5 and communicates with the vaporization chamber 11 illustrated in figure 1 . Thus, the steam passes through the projection means 12 and is projected towards the outside of the first arm 5 by passing through the slot 13, which makes it possible to create a vapor curtain directed towards the outside of the first arm 5. near the heating treatment surface 9.

Tel qu'illustré sur la figure 2, le premier bras 5 comprend une première portion 15a d'un conduit 15 qui présente une forme légèrement conique et constitue une partie mâle du conduit 15. De même, le second bras 6 comprend une seconde portion 15b du conduit 15 qui constitue une partie femelle dudit conduit 15. Lors de la fermeture de la pince, la première portion 15a mâle s'emboîte dans la seconde portion 15b femelle, ce qui permet de constituer ledit conduit 15. Cet emboîtement de la première portion 15a dans la seconde portion 15b et la forme conique de ladite première portion 15a assure une étanchéité du conduit. La première portion 15a du conduit 15 communique avec la chambre de vaporisation 11, par exemple en débouchant directement dans cette chambre de vaporisation 11. En outre, la seconde portion 15b du conduit 15 communique avec des seconds moyens de projection 16 agencés sur la face interne 17 de la partie distale 6a du second bras 6 entre le bord 8a de la seconde surface de traitement chauffante 8 et le bord 17a de la face interne 17, comme illustré en figure 2. Sur la figure 2, ces seconds moyens de projection 16 sont constitués d'une rampe de buses 18, les buses 18 étant raccordées à la seconde portion 15b du conduit 15, par exemple au moyen de conduits ou tuyaux de circulation complémentaires (non illustrés sur les figures). Lors de la fermeture de la pince, la première portion 15a et la seconde portion 15b du conduit 15 communiquent entre elles; la création de vapeur dans la chambre de vaporisation 11 permet, d'une part, de projeter directement de la vapeur au travers de la fente 13, vers l'extérieur du premier bras 5 et, d'autre part, de transférer de la vapeur au travers du conduit 15 puis de projeter cette vapeur transférée au travers des buses, vers l'extérieur du second bras 6. Ainsi, lorsqu'une mèche de cheveux est pincée entre les deux surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9, la portion de cette mèche de cheveux située à proximité desdites surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9 reçoit de la vapeur sur ses deux côtés opposés.As shown on figure 2 , the first arm 5 comprises a first portion 15a of a duct 15 which has a slightly conical shape and constitutes a male part of the conduit 15. Likewise, the second arm 6 comprises a second portion 15b of the conduit 15 which constitutes a female part of said conduit 15. When closing the clamp, the first male portion 15a fits into the second female portion 15b, which makes it possible to constitute said duct 15. This interlocking of the first portion 15a in the second portion 15b and the conical shape of said first portion 15a ensures that the duct is sealed. The first portion 15a of the duct 15 communicates with the vaporization chamber 11, for example by opening directly into this vaporization chamber 11. In addition, the second portion 15b of the duct 15 communicates with second projection means 16 arranged on the internal face. 17 of the distal part 6a of the second arm 6 between the edge 8a of the second heating treatment surface 8 and the edge 17a of the internal face 17, as illustrated in figure 2 . On the figure 2 , these second projection means 16 consist of a row of nozzles 18, the nozzles 18 being connected to the second portion 15b of the duct 15, for example by means of additional conduits or circulation pipes (not shown in the figures). When closing the clamp, the first portion 15a and the second portion 15b of the conduit 15 communicate with each other; the creation of steam in the vaporization chamber 11 makes it possible, on the one hand, to project steam directly through the slot 13, towards the outside of the first arm 5 and, on the other hand, to transfer steam through conduit 15 and then projecting this vapor transferred through the nozzles, to the outside of the second arm 6. Thus, when a lock of hair is pinched between the two heating treatment surfaces 8, 9, the portion of this lock of hair located near said heating treatment surfaces 8, 9 receives steam on its two opposite sides.

Des variantes de conception sont envisageables pour les premiers et seconds moyens de projection 12, 16 sur les premier et second bras 5, 6. Sur les figures 3 et 4, les seconds moyens de projection 16 comprennent une rampe de buses 18, comme pour la figure 2. On constate sur la figure 4 que les buses 18 sont inclinées d'un angle α1 par rapport à la face interne 17 sur le second bras 6. Cet angle α1 est supérieur à 90°, par exemple 120°, ce qui permet une projection de vapeur vers l'extérieur et vers l'aval du second bras 6 qui, durant le coiffage, se déplace dans le sens illustré par la flèche 19 sur la figure 4. Cette projection de vapeur vers l'aval, avant le pincement de la mèche de cheveux entre les deux surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9, permet d'anticiper la formation du condensat sur le second côté des cheveux. Sur les figures 3 et 4, les premiers moyens de projection 12 sont également constitués d'une rampe de buses 20 en remplacement de la fente 13 de la figure 2, lesdites buses 20 étant inclinées d'un angle α2 par rapport à la face interne 14 sur le premier bras 5. Cet angle α2 est égal à 90°, ce qui permet une projection de vapeur vers l'extérieur du premier bras 5, juste avant la surface de traitement chauffante 9 sur ce premier bras 5. Bien entendu, on peut envisager des variantes de conception de l'appareil de coiffure 1, avec l'une et/ou l'autre des conceptions de rampe de buses 18, 20 ou de fente 13 agencée sur l'un et/ou l'autre des premiers et seconds moyens de projection 12, 16. On pourrait également prévoir une fente similaire à la fente 13 de la figure 2 mais configurée pour projeter de la vapeur selon un angle supérieur à 90° de manière comparable à l'angle α1 sur la figure 4.Design variants are conceivable for the first and second projection means 12, 16 on the first and second arms 5, 6. On the figures 3 and 4 , the second projection means 16 comprise a nozzle array 18, as for the figure 2 . We see on the figure 4 that the nozzles 18 are inclined at an angle α1 relative to the internal face 17 on the second arm 6. This angle α1 is greater than 90 °, for example 120 °, which allows steam to be projected outwards and downstream of the second arm 6 which, during styling, moves in the direction illustrated by arrow 19 on the figure 4 . This downstream projection of steam, before the lock of hair is pinched between the two heating treatment surfaces 8, 9, makes it possible to anticipate the formation of condensate on the second side of the hair. On the figures 3 and 4 , the first projection means 12 also consist of a nozzle ramp 20 replacing the slot 13 of the figure 2 , said nozzles 20 being inclined at an angle α2 relative to the internal face 14 on the first arm 5. This angle α2 is equal to 90 °, which allows a projection of steam towards the outside of the first arm 5, just before the heating treatment surface 9 on this first arm 5. Of course, it is possible to envisage design variants of the hairdressing appliance 1, with one and / or the other of the nozzle ramp designs 18, 20 or slot 13 arranged on one and / or the other of the first and second projection means 12, 16. It would also be possible to provide a slot similar to the slot 13 of the figure 2 but configured to project steam at an angle greater than 90 ° in a manner comparable to the angle α1 on the figure 4 .

On peut en outre prévoir sur la face interne 14 du premier bras 5, l'agencement d'un peigne (non illustré) dans la zone située le long du bord 9a de la surface de traitement chauffante 9, entre ladite surface de traitement chauffante 9 et les premiers moyens de projection 12. On pourrait de manière comparable l'envisager sur la face interne 17 du second bras 6, au lieu du premier bras 5. On entend par peigne, un peigne en tant que tel comprenant des dents rigides ou semi-rigides voire une rangée de poils en matière naturelle ou synthétique. Ce peigne peut être fixé de manière permanente ou de manière amovible à la face interne 14 du premier bras 5. A titre d'exemple, on peut mouler le peigne directement dans la matière de la face interne 14 ou prévoir l'agencement d'une liaison glissière entre la face interne 14 du premier bras et le peigne.It is also possible to provide on the internal face 14 of the first arm 5, the arrangement of a comb (not shown) in the zone situated along the edge 9a of the heating treatment surface 9, between said heating treatment surface 9. and the first projection means 12. It could be envisaged in a comparable manner on the internal face 17 of the second arm 6, instead of the first arm 5. The term “comb” is understood to mean a comb as such comprising rigid or semi-rigid teeth. -rigid or even a row of bristles in natural or synthetic material. This comb can be fixed permanently or removably to the internal face 14 of the first arm 5. By way of example, the comb can be molded directly into the material of the internal face 14 or provide for the arrangement of a sliding connection between the internal face 14 of the first arm and the comb.

Sur les figures 5 à 10 sont illustrées diverses variantes d'un mode de conception de l'unité de traitement 2 sur l'appareil de coiffure 1 objet de l'invention.On the figures 5 to 10 are illustrated various variants of a design of the processing unit 2 on the hairdressing device 1 object of the invention.

Sur les figures 5 à 10, l'unité de traitement 2 de l'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend un premier bras 5 qui présente une surface de traitement chauffante 9 et une chambre de vaporisation 11 et, un second bras 6 qui présente une surface de traitement chauffante 8. Le premier bras 5 comprend des premiers moyens de projection 12' qui sont constitués d'une rampe de buses 21 de conception identique à la rampe de buses 20 illustrée en figure 3 et 4. On pourrait remplacer la rampe de buses 21 par une fente similaire à la fente 13 illustrée en figure 2. Ces moyens de projection 12' permettent de projeter de la vapeur à l'extérieur de la face interne 14 du premier bras 5, entre le bord 9a de la première surface de traitement chauffante 9 et le bord 14a de la face interne 14 du premier bras 5. Le second bras 6 comprend un déflecteur 22 qui est agencé sur la face interne 17 du second bras 6, entre le bord 8a de la seconde surface de traitement chauffante 8 et le bord 17a de la face interne 17 du second bras 6. Ce déflecteur 22 est agencé au-dessus des premiers moyens de projection 12' sur le premier bras 5 et comprend une forme incurvée.On the figures 5 to 10 , the treatment unit 2 of the hairdressing appliance 1 comprises a first arm 5 which has a heating treatment surface 9 and a vaporization chamber 11 and, a second arm 6 which has a heating treatment surface 8. The first arm 5 comprises first projection means 12 'which are made up of a nozzle array 21 of identical design to the nozzle array 20 illustrated in figure 3 and 4 . The nozzle array 21 could be replaced by a slot similar to the slot 13 illustrated in figure 2 . These projection means 12 'make it possible to project steam outside the internal face 14 of the first arm 5, between the edge 9a of the first heating treatment surface 9 and the edge 14a of the internal face 14 of the first arm. 5. The second arm 6 comprises a deflector 22 which is arranged on the internal face 17 of the second arm 6, between the edge 8a of the second heating treatment surface 8 and the edge 17a of the internal face 17 of the second arm 6. This deflector 22 is arranged above the first projection means 12 'on the first arm 5 and comprises a curved shape.

Sur les figures 5 et 7, le déflecteur 22 présente, dans une vue en coupe transversale, une forme incurvée en goutte d'eau. Ainsi, comme illustré en figure 7, la vapeur illustrée par la flèche 23 est projetée vers l'extérieur des buses 21 sur le premier bras 5, en direction d'un premier côté des cheveux 24. Une partie de cette vapeur projetée passe au travers des cheveux 24 et vient en butée contre le déflecteur 22. La forme incurvée du déflecteur 22 permet de renvoyer la vapeur en direction du second côté des cheveux 24, opposé au premier côté desdits cheveux, comme l'illustre la flèche 23. On remarque en outre que la forme incurvée en goutte d'eau du déflecteur 22 permet de renvoyer la vapeur vers l'extérieur du second bras 6 et en aval du déflecteur 22, comme l'illustre la flèche 23 sur la figure 7. Cela permet de favoriser la formation du condensat sur le second côté des cheveux 24 avant le pincement de la mèche de cheveux entre les surfaces de traitement chauffantes 8, 9. On remarque sur ces figures 5 et 7 qu'un peigne 25 est agencé sur la face interne 14 du premier bras 5, le long du bord 9a de la surface de traitement chauffante 9, entre ladite surface de traitement chauffante 9 et les premiers moyens de projection 12'.On the figures 5 and 7 , the deflector 22 has, in a cross-sectional view, a curved teardrop shape. Thus, as illustrated in figure 7 , the steam illustrated by the arrow 23 is projected outwards from the nozzles 21 on the first arm 5, in the direction of a first side of the hair 24. A part of this projected steam passes through the hair 24 and comes into abutment against the deflector 22. The curved shape of the deflector 22 allows the steam to be returned in the direction of the second side of the hair 24, opposite to the first side of said hair, as illustrated by the arrow 23. It is further noted that the curved drop shape of the deflector 22 allows the steam to be returned to the outside of the second arm 6 and downstream of the deflector 22, as illustrated by the arrow 23 on the figure 7 . This makes it possible to promote the formation of the condensate on the second side of the hair 24 before the pinching of the lock of hair between the heating treatment surfaces 8, 9. Note on these figures 5 and 7 that a comb 25 is arranged on the internal face 14 of the first arm 5, along the edge 9a of the heating treatment surface 9, between said heating treatment surface 9 and the first projection means 12 '.

Sur une variante schématisée en figures 6 et 8, des dents 26 sont agencées sur la face interne 14 du premier bras 5, le long du bord 9a de la surface de traitement chauffante 9, entre ladite surface de traitement chauffante 9 et les premiers moyens de projection 12'. Ces dents 26 comprennent chacune à leur extrémité, un orifice de projection 27 qui est relié par un conduit 28 à la chambre de vaporisation 11. La longueur de ces dents 26 est dimensionnée pour que les extrémités des dents 26 et, donc, les orifices de projection 27 soient positionnés au-dessus du plan de la surface de traitement chauffante 9 sur le premier bras 5. Ainsi, lors de la fermeture de la pince, les dents 26 passent au travers de la mèche de cheveux et les trous de passage se trouvent au-dessus du second côté des cheveux. Comme l'illustrent les flèches 29a, 29b sur les figures 6 et 8, la création de vapeur permet ainsi de projeter de la vapeur vers l'extérieur du premier bras en passant au travers des buses 21 et au travers des orifices de projection 27. La vapeur projetée au travers des buses 21 permet de vaporiser le premier côté des cheveux 24. La vapeur projetée au travers des orifices de projection 27 est refoulée par le déflecteur 22 et renvoyée en direction du second côté des cheveux 24. On remarque sur la figure 8 que la forme du déflecteur 22 en goutte d'eau permet de renvoyer la vapeur en aval par rapport à la seconde surface de traitement chauffante 8, sur le second côté des cheveux 24.On a variant schematized in figures 6 and 8 , teeth 26 are arranged on the internal face 14 of the first arm 5, along the edge 9a of the heating treatment surface 9, between said heating treatment surface 9 and the first projection means 12 '. These teeth 26 each include at their end, a projection orifice 27 which is connected by a conduit 28 to the vaporization chamber 11. The length of these teeth 26 is dimensioned so that the ends of the teeth 26 and, therefore, the projection orifices 27 are positioned above the plane of the heating treatment surface 9 on the first arm 5. Thus, when closing the clamp, the teeth 26 pass through the lock of hair and the passage holes are located above the second side of the hair. As shown by arrows 29a, 29b on the figures 6 and 8 , the creation of steam thus makes it possible to project steam towards the outside of the first arm by passing through the nozzles 21 and through the projection orifices 27. The steam projected through the nozzles 21 makes it possible to vaporize the first side of the hair 24. The steam projected through the projection orifices 27 is discharged by the deflector 22 and returned in the direction of the second side of the hair 24. Note on the figure 8 that the shape of the deflector 22 in a drop of water makes it possible to return the steam downstream with respect to the second heating treatment surface 8, on the second side of the hair 24.

Sur les figures 7 et 8, le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 - qui correspond au bord 17a de la face interne 17 du second bras 6 - est disposé au moins dans le même plan que la surface de traitement chauffante 8 du second bras 6, voire en dessous de cette surface de traitement chauffante. Ainsi, lors de la fermeture de la pince, le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 est en contact avec la mèche de cheveux 24, ce qui permet d'assurer un préchauffage de la mèche de cheveux avant sa vaporisation.On the figures 7 and 8 , the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 - which corresponds to the edge 17a of the internal face 17 of the second arm 6 - is arranged at least in the same plane as the heating treatment surface 8 of the second arm 6, or even below this heating treatment surface. Thus, when closing the clamp, the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 is in contact with the lock of hair 24, which makes it possible to preheat the lock of hair before it is vaporized.

Sur les figures 9 et 10, l'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend des caractéristiques identiques à celles décrites pour l'appareil de coiffure 1 des figures 5 et 7, excepté la forme du déflecteur 22 qui varie. Sur la figure 9, le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 comprend un peigne 30 formé directement dans ledit déflecteur 22. Ce peigne 30 permet de séparer les cheveux et de les aérer avant que la vapeur ne soit projetée vers l'extérieur du premier bras 5 par les buses 21, en direction des cheveux et du déflecteur 22. La vapeur projetée par ces buses 21 permet de vaporiser le premier côté des cheveux. En outre, la séparation des cheveux au moyen du peigne 30 facilite le passage de vapeur au travers de ces cheveux, ladite vapeur traversant les cheveux étant ensuite renvoyée par le déflecteur 22.On the figures 9 and 10 , the hairdressing appliance 1 comprises characteristics identical to those described for the hairdressing appliance 1 of the figures 5 and 7 , except for the shape of the deflector 22 which varies. On the figure 9 , the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 comprises a comb 30 formed directly in said deflector 22. This comb 30 makes it possible to separate the hairs and to ventilate them before the steam is projected outwards from the first arm 5 by the nozzles 21, in the direction of the hair and of the deflector 22. The vapor projected by these nozzles 21 makes it possible to vaporize the first side of the hair. Further, the separation of the hair by means of the comb 30 facilitates the passage of steam through this hair, said steam passing through the hair then being returned by the deflector 22.

Sur les figures 9 et 10, le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 est disposé au moins dans le même plan que la surface de traitement chauffante 8 du second bras 6, et de préférence légèrement en dessous de cette surface de traitement chauffante. Ainsi, lors de la fermeture de la pince, le peigne 30 agencé sur le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22, pour la conception illustrée en figure 9, pénètre convenablement dans la mèche de cheveux. Concernant la conception de la figure 10, la position du bord longitudinal aval 22a permet le contact du déflecteur 22 avec la mèche de cheveux 24, ce qui permet d'assurer un préchauffage de la mèche de cheveux avant sa vaporisation. Pour optimiserce préchauffage, le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 comprend un rouleau 31, illustré en figure 10, qui favorise le contact des cheveux avec le déflecteur 22. Sur ces figures 9 et 10, le déflecteur 22 comprend deux cuvettes 32a, 32b attenantes. La première cuvette 32a sur le second bras 6 est disposée au-dessus des premiers moyens de projection 12' du premier bras 5. La seconde cuvette 32b est disposée au-dessus du peigne 25. Seule la première cuvette 32a contribue au renvoi de la vapeur en direction du second côté des cheveux, la seconde cuvette 32b contribuant à dessiner convenablement la forme en demi-cercle de la première cuvette 32a. Cette forme en demi-cercle favorise le renvoi de la vapeur dans le sens de la flèche 33 illustrée en figure 10 et empêche au contraire le renvoi de vapeur en sens opposé, vers le peigne 25.On the figures 9 and 10 , the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 is disposed at least in the same plane as the heating treatment surface 8 of the second arm 6, and preferably slightly below this heating treatment surface. Thus, when closing the gripper, the comb 30 arranged on the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22, for the design illustrated in figure 9 , penetrates properly into the lock of hair. Regarding the design of the figure 10 , the position of the downstream longitudinal edge 22a allows contact of the deflector 22 with the lock of hair 24, which makes it possible to preheat the lock of hair before it is vaporized. To optimize this preheating, the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 comprises a roller 31, illustrated in figure 10 , which promotes contact of the hair with the deflector 22. On these figures 9 and 10 , the deflector 22 comprises two adjoining bowls 32a, 32b. The first bowl 32a on the second arm 6 is arranged above the first projection means 12 'of the first arm 5. The second bowl 32b is arranged above the comb 25. Only the first bowl 32a contributes to the return of the steam. towards the second side of the hair, the second cup 32b helping to properly draw the semi-circular shape of the first cup 32a. This semi-circular shape promotes the return of the steam in the direction of arrow 33 illustrated in figure 10 and on the contrary prevents the return of steam in the opposite direction, towards the comb 25.

On peut éventuellement combiner certaines des caractéristiques décrites pour les modes des figures 5 à 10. Par exemple, on peut mettre en œuvre un rouleau 31 ou un peigne 30 sur le bord longitudinal aval 22a du déflecteur 22 illustré en figure 8.We can optionally combine some of the characteristics described for the modes of figures 5 to 10 . For example, one can implement a roller 31 or a comb 30 on the downstream longitudinal edge 22a of the deflector 22 illustrated in figure 8 .

D'autres caractéristiques sont envisageables sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. On peut notamment prévoir des variantes d'appareil de coiffure 1 qui présentent des moyens de création de vapeur différents. On peut par exemple prévoir un mini-réservoir d'eau directement sur le premier bras 5 à proximité de la chambre de vaporisation 11. On peut encore envisager de déporter complètement la création de vapeur dans la base 3 puis d'acheminer cette vapeur dans la chambre de vaporisation 11.Other characteristics can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention. It is in particular possible to provide variants of hairdressing device 1 which have different means of creating steam. It is for example possible to provide a mini-water tank directly on the first arm 5 near the vaporization chamber 11. It is also possible to envisage completely deporting the creation of vapor in the base 3 and then conveying this vapor into the vaporization chamber. vaporization chamber 11.

Dans les exemples décrits précédemment à l'appui des figures 2 à 10, le dispositif de projection de vapeur est agencé sur le côté aval de l'unité de traitement étant donné le sens de déplacement de ladite unité de traitement 2 défini par la flèche 19 sur les figures 4, 7 et 8. Selon cette utilisation, on comprend que le dispositif de projection de vapeur permet de déporter la projection de vapeur vers l'aval du premier bras 5 et/ou du second bras 6, ce qui permet d'anticiper la formation du condensat sur au moins un côté de la mèche de cheveux avant le passage de la mèche de cheveux entre les deux surfaces de traitement 8, 9. On comprend cependant que l'unité de traitement 2 pourrait être déplacée en sens inverse de la flèche 19, dans quel cas la projection de vapeur serait déportée vers l'amont du premier bras 5 et/ou du second bras 6, ce qui permettrait de retarder la vaporisation d'au moins un côté de la mèche de cheveux après le passage de cette mèche de cheveux entre les deux surfaces de traitement 8, 9.In the examples described above in support of the figures 2 to 10 , the steam projection device is arranged on the downstream side of the treatment unit given the direction of movement of said processing unit 2 defined by arrow 19 on the figures 4 , 7 and 8 . According to this use, it is understood that the steam projection device makes it possible to deport the steam projection downstream of the first arm 5 and / or of the second arm 6, which makes it possible to anticipate the formation of condensate on at least one side of the lock of hair before the passage of the lock of hair between the two treatment surfaces 8, 9. It is understood, however, that the treatment unit 2 could be moved in the opposite direction of arrow 19, in which case the projection of vapor would be deported upstream of the first arm 5 and / or of the second arm 6, which would make it possible to delay the vaporization of at least one side of the lock of hair after the passage of this lock of hair between the two surfaces treatment 8, 9.
