Definitions

  • This invention is generally referred to the field of hair or similar application to solve, for example, baldness problems and it is specifically based on an adhesive for the application of hair or similar and on a the related manufacturing process.
  • the base can have a various nature : it can be made for example of tissue or plastic. To fix this base to the skin or to the scalp, it is necessary to use an adhesive that can have different shapes but that, anyway, since it is directly in touch with the skin, has not to cause allergy, has to be transpiring and has to allow hair growth . Basically the adhesive can be provided in a quantity to be directly spread on skin and/or on the inner part of the base or as bi-adhesive tape.
  • Another problem related to these applications is the care and labour to manufacture these bases on which there are uniformly inserted hair.
  • the technical problem at the root of the present invention is to provide a sticker for hair application that exceeds all the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art .
  • a sticker for the application of hair made by an adhesive laminar support, antiallergenic and transpiring, and comprising a first side wherein a plurality of hair has been ran into and a second side apt to be directly stick to the skin.
  • the adhesive according to the invention has a removable film put on the second side to be eliminated before the application, for example silicone-made as the one used to protect self-sticking labels.
  • the main advantage of the sticker according to the present invention is that hair directly stick to the skin without the above-mentioned support.
  • the present invention is also referred to a manufacturing process for the above defined sticker, comprising the steps of :
  • the advantage of the manufacturing process according to the invention is the elimination of the manual application of hair on a support .
  • figure 1A is a schematic and partially sectioned view of a flocking apparatus used in the process according to the invention.
  • figure IB is a view of the apparatus of figure 1 in a different operative step
  • * figure 2 is a perspective view of a sticker according to the invention in a following step of said process;
  • * figure 3 is a perspective view of a detail that illustrates an alternative embodiment of the process according to the invention;
  • figure 5 is a perspective view of a sticker obtained through said alternative embodiment
  • figure 7 shows a following step of the process according to the invention.
  • * figure 8A is a perspective view of another procedure the process of the first embodiment; * figure 8B is a section view of a sticker manufactured through said procedure; and * figures 9A and 9B show two steps of sticker application.
  • * figure 8A is a perspective view of another procedure the process of the first embodiment; * figure 8B is a section view of a sticker manufactured through said procedure; and * figures 9A and 9B show two steps of sticker application.
  • some different process embodiments will be described, the process also being related to the same innovative concept .
  • a laminar support 1 made of adhesive material is provided on a support plane which is made in particular of a removable film 2, for example obtained in silicone-based paper of the kind used to protect self-sticking labels or in an equivalent material .
  • the adhesive material doesn't cause allergy and it is transpiring.
  • the laminar support 1 and the removable film 2 are then treated according to a process of flocking called as velveting process, carried out with a flocking apparatus 3 which is schematically depicted in figures 1 and 2.
  • the film 2 is put on a first electrostatic plate 4 to which can be given, according to techniques known in the art and not disclosed herein, an electric charge, in particular a negative charge.
  • a first electrostatic plate 4 Above the plate 4 there is a close space surrounded by a case 5 wherein it is let in a quantity of hair 6, preferably but not exclusively natural hair 6, having lengths necessarily non fixed but not too different than an average length, in the shape of segments of a length from few millimetres to few centimetres.
  • the case 5 has a further and second electrostatic plate 7 that, together with the previous mentioned one, generates an electrostatic field at the laminar support 1, whereby positioning said ends against the laminar support 1 and causing them to run into the laminar support 1 itself. According to the flocking process, said hair are electrostatically charged and thrown down the laminar support 1.
  • the electrostatic field and the charge of hair allow hair to be on a vertical position so that one end is ran into the laminar support 1.
  • the same process acts on the flocking fibres filling all the spaces empty from hair, the latter being larger. In this way the so treated surface of the laminar support 1 assumes a soft compactness .
  • hair can be combed and carded (fig. 2) in order to confer to hair a fixed orientation and to eliminate all the excessive and non perfectly inserted hair.
  • a further preferred embodiment refers to a calendering, preferably a hot-type, to confer to hair a modelled orientation, parts and so on.
  • the sticker 10 is substantially ready to be used.
  • the so treated laminar support 1 is formed by a first side 11, into hair have been ran, and a second side 13 that can be stick to the skin.
  • the laminar support 1 and the removable film 2 can be a rectangular paper or a roll.
  • the above- mentioned apparatus may work continuously according to techniques well known to the man skilled in the art . When hair are satisfactorily stick to the laminar support
  • stickers from the laminar support 1 and from the removable film 2, suitable to be applied to the skin.
  • These stickers will preferably be small sized stickers to prevent waves during adhesion.
  • They can have every shape through cutting or punching of the laminar support and the removable film.
  • They can have striped, arched, semicircle, circle, oval and elliptic shapes. They can be simply and directly stick to skin, simply taking off the removable film and adhering the opened side of the laminar support to the skin.
  • the laminar support 1 has a small thickness, for example from 0,02 mm to 1,00 mm but preferably between 0,05 mm and 0,50 mm.
  • the application techniques for applying the adhesive material to the removable film can be for example offset printing technique and silk-screen process.
  • the adhesive can be of acrylic and water material.
  • the adhesive material can be mixed with air dispersed in small bubbles.
  • the small bubbles or part of them explode causing many craters 15 and a discontinuous positioning of the adhesive material on the laminar support 1. This arrangement increases the transpiration of the adhesive and its capacity of growth of hair through its thickness .
  • the laminar base is stick to defined parts 16 of the removable film 2 so that the shape of the adhesive is not determined by cutting but it is pre-formed before the hair application.
  • tapering 17 it is meant a reduction of adhesive quantity at the borders because the silk-screen process releases on the surface a fair quantity and which can be varied of printed adhesive in the shape of small drops.
  • the tapering 17 can be applied only on curved borders that's to say to the borders really placed on the limits of hair.
  • the above described adhesive can be obtained in single sheets or rolls.
  • the single parts or groups of parts can be packed and covered by a wrapping or by an envelope that protects the surface of laminar support with hair.
  • a first electrostatic plate 20 is provided with locks hair 21 having the same length, connected to the plate at a lock end which, for example, can be inserted in recesses 22 regularly distributed on the surface of the plate 20.
  • the generated electrostatic field can direct these distal ends against a laminar support 1, for example placed facing to said electrostatic plate, with the surface thereof, freed by the removable film side 2, so that they are ran into the laminar support 1 itself.
  • a laminar support 1 for example placed facing to said electrostatic plate, with the surface thereof, freed by the removable film side 2, so that they are ran into the laminar support 1 itself.
  • This method can be applied to every kind of the above- mentioned stickers: with an uniform and continuous placing of laminar support or with a placing by portions, in every embodiment .
  • the described method allows to apply hair of different lengths, for example it is possible to put shorter hair at the borders of the sticker parts.
  • the sticker can be manufactured through a manufacturing process non implying an electrostatic system. Hair can be put on the right position, ran into the laminar support, through a mechanical process with particular combs or through a manual process (fig. 6) .
  • the laminar support is provided on a removable film in turn placed on a fixed surface plate.
  • the length of hair ran into the laminar support can be adjusted before or after their application.
  • the adhesive Since the adhesive is thin, light and transpiring, it doesn't cause sensations of inconvenience, too much weight or itch.
  • the effect to the touch is almost slight.
  • the advantage is that the sticker of the laminar support is transparent or almost transparent so that it can have the colour of the skin.
  • the above-mentioned sticker has also a lasting application but it can be removed and easily changed simply peeling the adhesive from skin.
  • the adhesive will be removable.
  • it allows a continuous production of stickers for the application of hair reducing to minimum the manual intervention.
  • it is possible to produce stickers of the desired shapes, even different to each other, for example in a single kit suitable to be used by a single user . If , during flocking, hair of different colours are mixed, we can have automatically a meches effect .
