Abstract

A device with multiple elements for obtaining waves in succession on locks, comprising a plurality of flat elements (1) or half-cylindrical elements (5), with opposed concavities and convexities, linked like a hinge (4) and that may be place one upon the other in succession with an end block closing (6-7), determining the squeezing of the locks (C), housed therein, between one another, whereby said locks acquire waves with opposed curving direction.

Description

A DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE ELEMENTS FOR OBTAINING WAVES IN SUCCESSION ON LOCKS

The present invention concerns a device with multiple elements for obtaining waves in succession on locks.

It is well known that, at present, only the conventional irons and similar are known for obtaining waves along the whole length of a lock, according to the actual fashion, whereby said tools have proved to be inadequate and of long and tiresome use.

It is the aim of the present invention to realize a means, like the conventional hair curlers, operating on the locks for obtaining waves in the shape of a spiral and therefore always with the same curving direction, so as to determine waves on the locks with opposed curving directions in series, so as to obtain locks of wavy hair.

The aim set forth is reached by means of the device according to the present invention, comprising a plurality of flat elements or elements with opposed convexities or concavities, united with a hinge and fit to be placed one upon the other with an end block closing, determining the squeezing of the locks housed therein, which thereby acquire waves with opposed curving directions.

The advantage of the device according to the present invention consists in its absolutely original functionality.

The present invention will be described more in detail herein below relating to the drawings in which some embodiments are shown.

Figure 1 shows a plan of a device for obtaining waves in succession on hair locks, with flat elements.

Figures 2 and 3 show an axonometric view of the device according to figure 1 in the positions, respectively, of partial folding on the hinges and to shaping to the final packing.

Figure 4 shows a plan of the disposition of a hair lock in above mentioned device, before the packing disposition shown in figure 3.

Figures 5 and 6 show an axonometric view of a variant of the device with half-cylindrical elements, while figure 7 shows the operative position of said variant, in the position of squeezing one hair lock between the elements folded like a packing, with end closings.

The enclosed figures show a device with multiple elements for obtaining waves in succession on hair locks, comprising a plurality of elements 1 connected in succession by means of hinges 4, and consisting of flat shapes with openings 2 for lightening and for the air passage, and housings 3 for placing the hair locks in correspondence of said hinges, so that said hair locks C, passing through said housings 3 and alternatively inside and outside said elements 1, are squeezed by the packing disposition and shaped, following to heating, in opposed direction waves.

In the variants shown in figures 5, 6 and 7, the half-cylindrical elements 5 with opposed concavities and convexities cause waves with a greater curving radius.

The packing of elements 1 or 5 is kept in a squeezing condition by a blocking means, like a connection 6-7 between the first and the last element, or with means with a similar functionality.

Claims

1. Device with multiple elements for the realization of waves in succession on hair locks, characterized in a plurality of elements (1), connected in succession by means of hinges (4), consisting of flat shapes with openings (2) for lightening and for the passage of air, and housings (3) for the disposition of the hair locks (C) in correspondence with the hinges (4), so that the hair locks (C), passing through the housings (3) and alternatively inside and outside of the elements (1), are squeezed by the packing disposition of the elements and shaped, following to heating, in waves with opposed directions.

2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in half-cylindrical elements (5) with opposed convexities and concavities, that produce waves with a greater curving radius.

3. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the packing of the elements (1) or (5) is squeezed by means of a blocking means like a connection (6-7) between the first and the last element, or with means of similar functionality.
